Hello,
I am working on a parallel computer as a hobby, and I'm considering going
the Transputer route, since it would get me up and running a lot faster.
Since I'm a hobbyist, I don't have funding for this and everything is
comming out of my pocket.  Where can I find transputers in small quantities 
at reasonable cost?  T400s would be fine...
Also, what is the minimal development system?  I know inmos sells Occam and
C, but are there public domain languages/compilers/development tools?
 
Thanks!
