Sure that seems fine. I also realized the T400s would be a mess as it would
break the pipeline on a B008. Some extrnal ram would be nice. How about
64K of SRAM. That should be plenty for most work I would think.

That would be nice. I dont have any freely releasable transputer card
designs. People always ask me where they can get transputer cards, with a
design spec, they can build one themselves. Thanks Tony. I really
appreciate it.
