   Does anybody known if there is hardware to allow a Personal IRIS to
   act as a host for a Transputer network (racks/boards etc) ? 

Well, all 4D series machines (including the Personal Iris) have a
pretty standard VME bus.  Some people use the INMOS B014 board and
the INMOS Sun3 toolkits with a modified iserver.

INMOS in the US actaully own a PI.  You might like to send mail to
pegruml@isnet.inmos.com.  He may have more up to date information on
device drivers and modified toolkits for Irix.

Absolutely.
