We have developed a device driver for a B004-style transputer board under
ESIX SVR3.2, plus a matching linkIO module. This stuff is available free
of charge to users of our PACT Parallel C compiler. It has locking
built in, so you can share the board between multiple users or sessions.
It also supports multiple boards, and can be told to go wait for a free
board to use. Works pretty nice.
I believe device drivers for SCO and ESIX are pretty much identical, but
you may have to recompile it. Since our pserver is compatible with the
iserver, you should be able to use this with an iserver, if you're so
inclined. Please contact me by email if you're interested.
