Greetings, I have some questions that I hope you can answer. 

1) Is there any previous or ongoing transputer systems that uses the
   hypercube type interconnection? For a 16-node system, each transputer
   would have to use all 4 channels for communication. Is there a way to
   multiplex the channels to handle more transputer-to-transputer 
   interconnections?

2) Is it possible to obtain unpackaged transputers? Yeah, I mean a silvery
   die like 1cm x 1cm in area ebfore they put it in those black cases with
   pins. I'd like to use it in a research prototype.  There are times when
   those packages are just too big.

Thanks in advance for any helpful pointers. Either post or mail is fine.
