To all Transputer-with-Sun users,

   we are currently running a 16 T414 transputersystem with an AT as
host. The system is based on PARACOMs busless TPM-2-10 boards connected
to the AT-bus by a passive bus bridge. We are trying to connect the
external transputer system to a Sun3/160 via a bus bridge to the
VME-bus (boards provided also by PARACOM). (An upgrade of the
system by 16 T800 is preplaned)

Is there somebody with information/experience  using a Sun3 as
transputer system frontend on the PARACOM-board basis or does
somebody know better solutions to our problem:

   who has detailed information on

        1) INMOS B011, B014 SUN boards
               (yes - maybe Inmos itself ... :-)

        2) Topologix SUN boards
               (who is Topologix ??)

        3) Express form ParaSoft

Any kind of information/experience on hardware/software is highly
appreciated. Contact to research institutions (parallel processing:
algorithms, performance, vizualisation, environments, development) using
Sun frontends wanted.
