Dear transputer mailing list!

As we are going to buy a medium-sized transputer system within the next
three months (just above 50 000 British Pounds), the following questions
are of great interest to us:

1.) We are going to ask Meiko, Parsytec, Parsys, Caplin, Topologix and
Cogent (there is no ordering in that list). Have we missed any important
company???

2.) Are there any practical experiences with these companies and their
products (hardware and software stability, especially nice or awful
features, support available, bugs and problems, speed comparisions,
quality of programming environment,...)
I will treat any responses I receive strictly confidential!

3.) Are there any Cogent or Topologix systems running in Europe? Where?
Are there any distributors for these companies in Europe?

4.) As we have a lot of Apollo workstations, an alternative would be to
run PC boards in our existing Apollos. Is there any software for this
combination (Dwight's C, Kirk Bailey's C, Helios, afserver???). What is
the speed of the interface compared to the PC? What boards work in the
Apollo (as Unix isn't happy about polling loops, the boards must
generate interrupt or DMA signals...).

Many thanks in advance for any answers I receive!
