Here at BHP we are considering purchasing some transputer/i860 TRAMs for doing
floating point intensive calculations on geotechnical data sets. I have
identified two suppliers of apparently suitable hardware, these being Quintek
and Transtech, both UK based companies. If anyone out there has experience with
transputer/i860 TRAMs from either of these companies, or any other, then I
would be delighted to hear from you. In particular I am interested in the
quantity and quality of s/w support provided. 

Thanks in advance,

Mike.
