INMOS IMS B017 IBM PS/2 Motherboard page created. I do not own one, but a lost soul asked for help on comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware and that awakened me from my timeless slumber...

Need the "IMS S217 IMS B017 Driver for PS/2" - I did find the adapter ADF, so you can configure it, -BUT- I suspect there is an Innnn.ADF file to initialize it. Not certain, but other processor cards [ex. the MCMaster] use an Innnn.ADF file...

There are quite a few other Transputer pages, but NONE are for the IMS B017 card.

What a twisted web we weave.

SGS-Thompson acquired INMOS by 1990. No INMOS website to my knowledge. ST Micro website circa '96 has no overt mention of the Transputer. I have seen a _FEW_ pubs as late as '91 where the INMOS Transputer business is called "iq systems".

MAYBE the INMOS server code can be recompiled to support the B017, but that option does not fill me with hope.

To all you Transputer geeks out there, this is NOT a generic Transputer page, but one that looks at the B017 and is curious, blue.
