I am not commenting on availability, I just wanted to clarify something.

On the T9000 the links and processor speeds are determined
indepentdently. There is no reason why a 25 Mhz T9000 should not have
100 Mbit/s links. Remember, all transputers are clocked at 5 Mhz,
whatever the speed of the processor/links. T800 transputers are
available at 20/25 and 30 Mhz, all of which support links running at
5/10/20 Mbit/s.
