At the Transputer Applications '90 conference at Southampton University
Ian Pearson, MD of INMOS, did not say much about the E series, but did
give the following rough timescale:

1986  1987  1888  1989  1990  1991  1992  1993  1994  1995
-----------------------------------------------------------
T212        T222     T225
T414        T424     T425         T-series ASICS
            T800          T400
                     T805   H1   H2       Hx
                     T801             H-series ASICS
                                          Exx

So, available 1993 sometime, and a completely different architechture to
the transputer. As ever, not much information given.
