- The message from Steve Doyle of INMOS Bristol on the T9 illustrates the need to
- redistribute all messages which are on comp.sys.transputer to the
- transputer and occam grapevine in Oxford. Perhaps someone from INMOS can
- deal with this. Please do not redistribute only the positive ones.

- I just hope that 'shortly' means September '92 and that 'fully integrated'
- means alpha T9 plus VCP. Of course 'being tested' means they can still find
- major bugs. Having lost several design-ins to Texas already, any hick-ups
- could be a real catastrophy for INMOS.
-
- By the way, does anyone know the price level of these processors ? Are these
- the 40 MHz parts, with 50 MHz somewhere in '93 ?
-
- Perhaps it would be a good idea to post the test report, particularly on
- performance, to the whole, anxiously awaiting, community.
