The INMOS B017 MCA card has 4x sockets for "TRAM" transputer modules (4x single width or 2x double). INMOS designated the driver package "S217" and it looks as though it possibly only supported DOS. Bit of a long shot, but thought I'd ask here in case anyone should have ever come across this or may even have a copy.

Cheers,

Andrew

Long forgotten connections arcing under the strain of increased current.

What sites did you try, Transputer-wise?

Yep, there's plenty of general transputer documentation available and DOS software for use with INMOS B004/B008 boards (ISA bus). But can't seem to locate the fabled "IMS S217" driver package for the B017 MCA board, or any other software that references this particular hardware. I fear it may be lost to the mists of time.

For all we know that's Photoshop. I have better vision looking through a
pair of beer goggles.

Can you partake in the creative process and sendt me some feelthy-feely
pictures of your B017? All the Tool has right now on it is the extract
from the INMOS publication, no images. Nothing on the actual card.

Odd. Copyright for -BOTH- INMOS -AND- IBM. Not unknown, the Actionmedia
has Intel and IBM copyrights.

I can't unblur the numbers on the lower edge by the copyrights. Suggests
an IBM P/N, but I can't make out the number of characters. Ex. 91F9768,
two digits, letter, then four digits.

Big Xilinx is possumbly an all-in-one gate array that serves as the MCA
interface [and much more].

5.0000 MHz?

The DB37 pinout is in INMOS pubs [saw it last night].

The earliest TRAMs communicated at 20Mbit/s, much faster than the period
ethernet's 10Mb/s.
