Are INMOS modules and NEICHE modules (TRAMs) the same ?

Well.... INMOS  TRAMs are designed according to a publically
available spec. (INMOS technical note number 29, get it from 
your local sales office). 

Neiche used the same pinout and electrical spec, however they
made modules which are mechanically incompatible with the
INMOS spec. (they are larger and use different pins).

Since the INMOS modules are smaller and the pinouts are the same,
INMOS TRAMs will work on the NT1000 board.

Don't expect Neiche modules to fit all other motherboards.

I hope this is of help.
