Oh, BTW, the B008 is a PC ISA card whereas the B014 and B016 are
VME-based
cards if you want to use it on a system that has VME slots. The B004 is
also
PC based, but it only contains 1 T414 and it is the oldest transputer.
I would
avoid that one if you can. Go for the B008 and the at least 4 of the
IMSB426
(or 5 of the IMSB427) for a really cool parallel processing machine.
