According to the tech support guy we correspond with, YES it is true.
The INMOS C debugger is NOT capable of interactive debugging with T800s,
but post-mortems can still be done.  Our support guy daid that he thought
TRAMs whose model numbers ended in 1 or 5 were capable of interactive
debugging, and the rest were not.
