Our department is considering the purchase of
a transputer-based parallel system, but our
first-hand experience with such systems is limited.

So far we have had two quotes, one from Parsytec for
their MC-3, and another from Transtech. Parsytec is
asking $3700 per dual T805 module, so that's $1850
per T805, while Transtech has quoted a little over
$900 per T805, both quotes, of course, being parts
of fully configured systems. 

We are a small department with a limited budget and
cannot afford to make a bad decision. I would really
appreciate any insights/advice about these quotes,
what we should look for, etc. Please mail me at
guha@cs.uwm.edu. Thanks very much,
