We are now using a PI as a host using an INMOS(SGS/Thomson)
board and TDS3.  Two aspects of TDS have to be modified for
the Iris, a device driver for the board, and the iserver
software for communicating with the board.  SGS/Thomson has
helped us get up and running with this, but they don't 
officially support the Iris as a host at this time.

Contact Laurie Pegrum at pegruml@isnet.inmos.com to express
your interest in SGS/Thomson's further development of the
Iris as a network host.  (Laurie is Lawrence, a man.)
