For all those who want to connect a transputer system as a SCSI
peripheral device to a workstation:

I had a discussion with a representative of Cresco Data (the
company manufacturing transputer hardware and software for Apollo
workstations, one of the fastest AT-to-link interfaces I've ever
seen!) in April or so.

He said that they are seriously considering such an arrangement (i.e.
transputer boxes which boot from and communicate to a host via a
SCSI interface), but there is nothing to be announced yet.

Perhaps ask them again? I'm afraid that they are not on the net.
The following is from PVR's address file:

Hope that helps, please post on this list if they really have such an
interface!

Greetings
