Phill Hallam-Baker writes "If you have a DEC workstation SCSI is the only bus you get." This isn't strictly true, the newer machines like the 5000/200 have Turbobus which although it is proprietary to DEC, is "open", i.e. DEC want everybody to sell boards so they can sell more machines. A Turbobus transputer board would probably sell well, especially in light of the ACE initiative (for UK netters that's DEC's new marketing ploy/partnership with Compaq, SCO et al) which specifies Turbobus as an auxiliary interface for high end PC/workstation machines. So, what we need to know is this: of the "hundreds" (DEC says) of vendors working on Turbobus products, is anyone building a Transputer board???
