Remember that there are INMOS software for development for this.
You will need to get some of the Public domain stuff that is on my webpage.
There is a C & Modula-2 compiler for the transputer using Helios. And Helios
has POSIX-compatible libraries for you to port existing GNU software. There
was a GNU C port to the transputer, but I cant comment on how good it is or
if
it will work. As for support software, email me on the drivers, etc needed
to drive
this. The transputer homepage is at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/1190.
Happy Transputing
