Now there exist C004s and the transputer that boot from ROM must load the network more than once in such a way that the C004s in the network are initialized in some order leaving in a final step the network as needed for the application. So the fold for making the EPROM must contain the SC with the loader, the Memory Configuration Fold and MORE THAN ONE Code Program Fold to be loaded on after the other in the network. Is there some utilities to make such a fold and put it in EPROM ? The network is a mix of 4 T4s, 9 T8s and 2 T2s. Either the Transputers initializing the C004s have to make a SOFTWARE RESET by themselves, either the transputer booting from ROM must have some way of Reseting the network between successive LOADs.
