braner@batcomputer...... writes that he has it on good authority that
one and two C004s in a T800--T800 link do not slow down the data-rate.

Unfortunately, this is not correct. One C004 slows the link down by
about 20%, two devices by about 40%.

As to the story about IBM buying 5E+100 transputers or whatever,
this was a misprint in "Computergram".

IBM do however have quite a few transputer projects, some of which
are documented publicly. One of these uses quite a few processors,
but not 50,000 !
