CSA Transputer Kit PC Card

Computer Systems Architects sold lots of these cards, for a very attractive price, primarily into the educational market. They came bundled with a slightly restricted version of the Transputer Toolset, together with a great manual which described lots of different programming and hardware interfacing lab-type experiments. These cards used standard multi-pin circular DIN connectors/cables to route the link and reset signals, and provided the first hands-on introduction to distributed parallel processing for many people. They included a "budget" T400A 32 bit non-floating point processor, and off-processor memory was an option. Click on any of the photos to enlarge them...
