- We have been exploring using transputers for some undergraduate classes.
- Part of our plan was to use Ada to program the transputers, which come at
- very reasonable price; however, it appears that the Ada vendors that have
- compilers for the transputers charge at a "per node" basis. "Per Node" is fine
- for a network of various users, but a transputer-based platform is a single
- user system (in our case). Is there a compiler for transputers (on a PC) that
- is < $1000 (educational price)? (I'm NOT a hardware expert. The transputers
- are 400's, I believe!)
