Does anyone has information about the compatibility between the T414 and the T425 ? We have have bought a couple of T425 to replace the T414B, but they are not even seen by the Worm program supplied with the TDS (D700D). The program correctly recognizes a T800 or a T414 plugged in the same socket. Where is then the problem ? Hardware or software incompatibility ? Also, did anyone out there try the T400 ? Are there similar problems of compatibility as the ones we experimented ? Any suggestion or similar experience is welcome.

This can be gotten from your local Regional Technology Center.
A quick run down on the differences is that a T425 has 4KB of
internal RAM, T800 style links, 2D block move support and (as a
consequence of the 2D block move support) a different value for
MemStart.

You can get a newer and better worm with source code from our mail
archive server. The email address is archive-server@inmos.COM. By
the way, we're having some problems getting news articles out on the
net; if you would be so kind, please post the information in this
message for me. Thanks.

Ditto.
