Hello,
	I am interested in getting involved in the wonderful world 
of transputing but not if it is too expensive (this is all going 
to be out of my own pocket.)  
	What I am interested in is a less expensive means of getting 
started.  I have a 20MHz Mylex based 386 at home with a spare 32bit slot
(as well as several 16bit slots) which I would like to add a transputer 
board to. I am aware of the Microway transputer boards but they are a 
little out of my price range.  
	Has anyone out there either built their own or found a cheaper 
source for such things.  I have enough electronics experience that I 
think I could put one together but not enough to design one myself.  
					Thanks,
					Jeff Davis
