Has anyone connected transputers to NeXT's Cubes?
What would be the best or the easiest way to do it?

If my memory serves me correctly, there's a NuBUS in there.
You could therefore probably plug in a Levco board. These
cards were designed for the MacII so there might be a problem
or two with them in the Next machine.

Obviously you'd also need software (a device driver for the
card---the transputer software could be stolen from a SUN
system).
