The B008 board plugs into a PC. It contains the PC interface (C012, like
a UART for transputer links), 10 size 1 TRAM slots, a C004 link
crossbar switch (to interconnect the TRAM slots), and a no-memory T2xx
to control the C004.

Only two links per TRAM slot are configurable via the C004 - the others
connect the slots in a pipeline.

A TRAM module (TRansputer And Memory) plugs into the B008. It occupies
one or more physical TRAM slots. Only one of the sets of pins is active,
(corresponding to one TRAM slot), the others are there just to secure
the TRAM to the B008.

Cheers,     Andy.
