I saw two transputer Amigas running, and running well, 1 1/2 year ago.
One possible problem was that no-one seemed interested in them. Many
people (me included) were interested in the CBM officially announced
A2090B (SlotWaster), which has never seen its birth. I've heard a
third-party developer has announced one now...
