I need a UK supplier of a cheap (and I mean cheap!) transputer development
system. It has to be PC based, with just a comms link to the transputer
board. My understanding of transputers is from ancient times so bear with
me while I quote what my requirements are.

The system I am building requires a minimal controller board to
operate relays and stepper motor I/O but it is a three dimensional device
and requires 6 links to the outside world which are further transputers.
Since transputers have only four links (I'm assuming that there are no
devices that you could buy that increases transputer links!?), I could
use two transputers per board that gives me 8 links but two of which
will be between the pair of transputers which leaves me with just the
6 links I require.

The PC software can be OCCAM or C (preferrably both), but it must generate
stand alone code that will operate the transputer and its I/O without
massive kernals and further operating systems having to be loaded into
the boot ROM.

I also need full circuit diagrams of the board so that I can 
develop my own boards and add I/O devices. 

Any ideas?
