For OS-Links, try one of the Transputer Applications books. The one I
have is "Transputer Technical Notes" published by Prentice Hall,
ISBN 0-13-929126-1, dated 1989. It covers the hardware of connecting
links, building networks with C004s, and writing software to run
efficiently on networks. Some of this latter is possibly superseded
by the virtual channels software now readily available.

For DS-Links, try Networks, Routers and Transputers, IOS Press,
ISBN 90 5199 129 0. This covers a wide variety of topics concerning
DS-Links and networks of C104s. The book is available on HENSA if
you would find it easier to get that way.

P1355 is also quite useful for DS-Links.

Hope that is useful
