Here is the thing. I dont think it is chip compatible like the rest of the
32-bit
transputers. You can not replace the T800 with a T801 or a T414 to a T801, etc.
That is why I dont call it a 'classic'. You are right, it is instruction
compatible
with the T800. I basically call it a mutant T800 :-) It is a new "lineage" in
the transputer
tree.
