Part of a research project at the Swiss Federal Institut of Technology ETH
Zurich has produced a transputer board for Mac II (this is to be added to 
the list of existing products from Levco or Parsytec for instance)
Some of the feature of this board are quite original and interesting and for
this reason they shall be mentioned here with no commercial purpose.

Hardware: two boards (Master and Optional board) occupy two NuBus slots.
       - compatibility with BOO4 from Inmos familly for the use of standard
       compilers and development systems from Inmos
       - fast interfaces as two port RAM (32kx32) to garantee the througput
       between the T and the NuBus and four fiber optic links (this allows to
       connect several hosts over a longer distance.
       - flexible size of the T external memory.

Software: -MacTDS server completely implemented in MPW-Pascal to allow any
          any extensions.
	  -User-server interface fully implemented
	  -MacII desktop interface to the TDS with some extensions to the
	  server

N.B. Please do not contact me for any commercial aspects.
