 There is a machine called the Connection Machine, which is made by
Thinking Machines of Cambridge, Massachusetts which has 64K nodes.
The CPU's aren't transputers, though.

Incidentally, I'm using 4 Levco Translink boards w/4 20Mhz T800's on each
board installed in a MacII.  I'm using a beta version of Express 3.0.

Is anyone out there using a similiar set up? Any comments on Levco?
My impression is that they're not doing so well.  They have a decent 
product, but writing drivers and stuff for the Mac is a real pain in the
butt.  Fortunately Express does all that for you, but like I said, it's a
beta version.
