But you can probably make them all work together! OK so I can
use the three TRAMs on the Transtech (five if I could find
another two size one TRAMs) but I have dreams of hypercubes. Sad
but true ;-)

I was wrong, it has 8+6 dip switches and no jumpers

I've a 1991 Data Book (see below) but its a bit modern for my
boards (I've nothing with crossbar switching), none of which match
the number of jumpers and dip switches but perhaps a more careful
reading by me will give me a few more hints etc.

Didn't recall having this many but its amazing what you can find
if you go looking:

A white corrugated plastic 'briefcase' 14" x 11" x 3" bearing the
legends:

INMOS SGS-THOMSON
                                              MICROELECTRONICS

and containing:

The transputer instruction set - a compiler writers' guide
(March 1987)
The T9000 transputer (basically a set of OHP transparencies from a
seminar)
IMS T400 transputer Advance Data
(November 1989)
The Transputer Development and iq systems Databook (2nd
edition 1991)
The T9000 Transputer Products Overview Manual (1st
