My contact at Inmos is Pete Wilson 303/630-4256. Perhaps they're not on
USENET. Pete has been with the Transputer project for its entire five-year
life.  He's a likeable, enthusiastic spokesperson who will give you the
straight story.  Last time I talked to him he said that they'd seen silicon
but it wasn't sampleable.  The official Inmos line, if I remember correctly,
is that they will sample in first quarter 1985.
