As no-one else seems to have replied to this...

The only transputer Sbus board I am aware of is made by Archipel (a French
company):

Volvox-1/S.  Can have T4/T8 and 1 or 4 MB.  3 links + sys. serv. to external
conector.

They also advertise Volvox-Par, a software package for integrating
transputers into your application running on the Sun.

The UK price (through Digitimer (Tel. +44 707 328347)) for Volvox-1/S
(T8-20 + 1 MB) was 1680 pounds in Sept 1990.

Volvox-Par: 950 pounds.

Archipel are at:
P.A.E. du Levray-Cran
4 route de Nanfray
74000 Annecy
France.


Usual disclaimers.

Anyone using Archipel (or any other) Sbus hardware?
