Hi,
Below is a post I sent about 3 years ago on some transputer boards that I
received which I didnt know what they are. Well, I finally got some answers
(nothing is late in this hobby)....
Vytal LTD designed the B020 graphics board and the VTM 301 Vector Tram board
(as well as the VecTram) which was licensed to INMOS to be sold.
The VTM 301 is a pre-cursor to the IMSB420 VecTram module and was the 1st of
many production runs. It is not software compatible to the IMSB420. The
underside of the tram is where the DSP processor is inserted...
The IMSB020 graphics board was also designed by Vytal LTD...
The Paradise 1/A was designed by T2SL and is a SCSI Tram. I finally found
information on this and scanned the documentation and posted it on the web.
The link is
http://www.classiccmp.org/transputer/documentation/t2sl/Paradise-1.doc.
Yes, it is in microshaft format, but I will soon change that. Now on other
transputer stuff I recently aquired like a prototype RS232 to Transputer
link board from INMOS...
Cheers,
Ram

Hi,
I picked up several transputer based hardware including
a B020, B008 and several trams including 2 SCSIs trams
and an ethernet tram. Among the collection, I found 2
wierd looking ones. One is a tram and the other I got
no idea how to use it.
The Tram is a size 4 tram and has the following labels:
T2SL
Paradise- 1/A
It contains what looks like an IDE connector and
has the following chips:
INMOS IMST222C
LOGIC L54C80JC-4
and two INMOS IMS1620S55 ICs.
The other card has an IMST800D-G20S chip
and has the following on the board:
VYTAL VTM 301
Copyright VYTAL LTD 1989
On the underside, it has a socket for another
transputer chip (maybe??).
Oh, there is another board too. It is also a size
4 tram and has a T805-G30S and the board is
from INMOS. There is a label on one of the IC
chips (written using a pen, so might not be
reliable) "B417-17 SE006".
Also, the B020 graphics card has no SIMMs on it.
Does anyone know what type of SIMMs I can use.
Finally, I got an ethernet tram without any cables.
What type of cable to I need to use it. It is an IMSB421
tram. The SCSI trams would probably use standard
SCSI cables. Am I right. Thanks for you help.
Ram
