	Sorry if it is the second time you see this question but our mail
server had some problems and we are not able to know if it was sent or not.
Furthermore the whole mailing from transputer-request ( and so any answer )
was lost for the same reason.  If you already sent an answer try sending it
again directly to  pomme!phil@be.sunbim  !  Thank you !


Here is the question :



	Refering to TDS manual and INMOS Technical Note 4 it is easy
to boot a transputer from ROM making it load a network and then run some
application on it.  Now there exist C004s and the transputer that boot 
from ROM must load the network more than once in such a way that the 
C004s in the network are initialized in some order leaving in a final step
the network as needed for the application.  So the fold for making the
EPROM must contain the SC with the loader, the Memory Configuration Fold
and  MORE THAN ONE  Code Program Fold  to be loaded one after the other in
the network. 

	Is there some utilities to make such a fold and put it in EPROM ? 
The network is a mix of 4 T4s, 9 T8s and 2 T2s.  Either the Transputers
initializing the C004s have to make a SOFTWARE RESET by themselves, either
the transputer booting from ROM must have some way of Reseting the network
between successive LOADs.
