- If don't want to spend a lot of money to find out what good transputers
- are to you, you may wish to consider starting with one of the Transputer
- Educational Kits. Such a kit offers a transputer (T800 usually optional)
- with a collection of software (Occam plus C) and some sort of hands-on
- transputer course. I know of two companies that make them: CSA in
- the U.S.A. and Bieware in The Netherlands. Please email me for address
- details.
