	It was my understanding, that the CSA board was actually going to 
provide 4 links on the VME bus for 4 anythings, probably transputers.  Also
they were to provide a 5th link which could accommodate a crossbar switch.
Their board itself doesn't come with any transputers, just the link adapters
and buffers for them.  You could independently talk to the crossbar switch 
from the VME bus, which would allow you to reconfigure your transputer network.
On each of the links you could hang either 1 transputer or a network of 
transputers.

	In my original posting I forgot to mention that PARSYTEC also 
advertises VME boards.  I don't know much about them but I have tons of 
their literature.  In the United States they are represented by:

				(312) 879-7003
				(I've talked with Randy Cochran, about 6-12 months ago).
