Thought I'd throw this item into transputer information pool to see if it would
generate any further details.

Quote from Observer Scotland July 30th...

"Traders whose business with the Soviet Union has slumped because of
restrictions on what they are allowed to sell have been asked by the Russians
and the Eastern bloc to act instead as a doorway to Western markets...

"Scots businessman, Mr Nick Cameron, managing director of CAT Electro,
Edinburgh, who has just returned from a trip to Communist countries, was
astounded to find Bulgarians offering transputers, a supercomputing system
invented in Britain just two years ago"...

    The article goes to say that transputer boards are expected to be available
by autumn this year - but gives no other details.

Comments anyone?
