Just FWIW there is now a bare-metal Transputer emulator for the
Raspberry Pi Pico which is accurate enough that you can interconnect
several Pi Picos *using the original INMOS silicon* for the fabric
interconnect.

I wrote about it:

I have an Inmos Transputer board set sitting here somewhere around.

It's a B4B-board set that consist of an B4B Master and PCT Slave card 
(not a SGX-board set)

T425    board EL 2217
B4B-card with 4 MByte
Part rate Mb Bt [  Link0  Link1  Link2  Link3 ] (Ftest) RAM,cycle
T425c-20 0.19 0 [   HOST    ...    1:0    2:0 ]  (OK) 4K,1+4096K,3;

T222    bard EL 2208
PCT card with 6 * 34 kByte
Part rate Mb Bt [  Link0  Link1  Link2  Link3 ] (Ftest) RAM,cycle
T222c-20 1.64 0 [    3:1    3:2    5:1    5:2 ]  (OK) 2K,1+32K,2;


Both cards operate in a Toshiba 3100/20 with MOSES ISDN software package.

Pictures and others can be seen here:

I'd like to get an ISA based transputer card.   Something with multiple
cpus (so not the B004).

A B008 or one of the clones that accepts multiple TRAM modules would be
ideal (https://www.geekdot.com/inmos-b008)

It doesn't have to be TRAM.  I saw this multi-cpu board on ebay.ie but a)
it's more than I was hoping to spend b) I can't find any info on it.
Whatever I get I want there to be reasonable docs and archived
software:   https://www.ebay.ie/itm/234283597489

Suggestions on what to look for welcomed.  I'm in no rush and good things
come to those who wait.  I'm in the USA but have family in the UK and go
there often so I'm looking on ebay.co.uk

Thanks!

Transtech also made a B008-compatible TRAM motherboard: the TMB08 iirc?
