I am soliciting information regarding connection adaptors 
between a Sun Sparc 2 and transputers. 
Since Sparc2 provides only S-buses and most transputers are
designed for AT-bus or VME, I have some questions.
I was told a company in England designed new interfaces
for S-bus, but  it is expensive.

What is less-expensive cost for those configuration?
Is there S-bus to AT-bus adapter?  Price?
If both of S-bus to AT-bus and S-bus to VME-bus are available,
what are pros and cons of each?  I would like to hear from
someone who have transputer with Sun Sparc stations, if possible.

Thanks in advance.
