Not heard that one before. Have heard of

Tram as an alternative mode of transport to a bus
T-RAM as opposed to D-RAM and S-RAM 
TRAnsputer Module 

Any more? 

For anyone the slightest bit interested, the name TRAM was suggested 
by Iann Barron, and I was very reluctant to use it --- but no one 
else would accept the name I used for them! 

Just one more respect in which Iann was right --- like his wanting 
transputers to have just 16 pins, and which TRAMs delivered.
