Does anyone know of a good reference for the transputer's assembly language ??
An Inmos tech note or an article or book or anything else ??

Many Thanks.

Probably the first thing you want is an Inmos document titled
"The transputer instrution set - a compiler writers' guide."
It's a bit odd compared to conventional processor user's manuals,
but the facts are there.

There's also a document I wrote on the subject, "An Introduction to
Transputer Assembly Language,"  and posted a long time ago.  At the
moment, the only copy I have is on the Mac, and I'll mail that as soon
as I figure out how to transfer the file and redo the formatting.

But if someone out there saved a copy (I was ccplumb@watmath at the time),
they could possibly save me the trouble and send it to the requester.

Thanks!

The above document now exists as a book from Prentice-Hall.  Rather pricey.
And you really do need an assembler in order to play around a bit.  Better
yet, have an assembler AND a high-level language compiler that generates
assembler source.  (I use Logical System's Transputer Toolset -- good stuff.)

I've still got a copy hanging about (about 52 kbytes).  E-mail me if you
want it.  Or you can try Colin.
