- In AC's GUIDE (summer '92) a German Company is listed as making several
- Transputer boards (pg 143). Now I assume that since this is an Amiga
- Guide that the boards some how interface to an Amiga. The company
- details are:
- Advanced Computer Design,
- Carl Schurz-Str. 11,
- D-2800 Bermen 1,
- West Germany.
- (011) 4942-1349-9517
-
- The 3 products listed are;
- Megalink 01 Transputer Board:
- - upto four transputers with up to 4MB each
-
- Megalink 02 Transputer Board
- - comes with one T800 (1MB to 8MB RAM) and upto 2MB Video RAM.
- - 1MB RAM and 1MB video RAM 6499 Duetschemarks
-
- Megalink 03 Transputer Board
- -I think this is the same as the Megalink 01 board but it inluces
- a T800.
-
- I'm not connected with Advanced Computer Design, I don't even know if
- they are still in business or even if they still make Transputer boards
- for the Amiga. If anybody has more info I would like to know!
