I don't know what is cheap, but we use the BBK-S4 from
Parsytec GmbH
Jรผlicher Str. 338
D-5100 Aachen
in Germany.
It is an Interface between Sbus-Systems and transputer systems with
4 Links. The product includes Parsytecs Basic Transputer System Software
with functions like OpenLink, ReadLink etc., but I think that you need
also the INMOS iserver modified by Parsytec for the BBK-S4. We work
with the INMOS-C-Toolset modified and shipped from Parsytec which includes
an iserver for the BBK-S4.
