[stuff about the PI and t800] What is the memory speed of your Transputer board. As the transputer does not implement a cache system (the on-chip RAM does not count as a cache) memory speed is likely to be critical to your execution speed. Have you tried comparisons with Transputer tools other than 3L C? I am interested as I am considering the purchase of a C system to replace our current (TDS2) Occam based development environment, but performance is critical in our application. -jeremy -- -- Jeremy Webber ACSnet: jeremy@chook.ua.oz Digital Arts Film and Television, Internet: jeremy@chook.ua.oz.au 3 Milner St, Hindmarsh, SA 5007, Voicenet: +61 8 346 4534 Australia Papernet: +61 8 346 4537 (FAX)
