So I have the USB CDC link to debug, then integrate the slow GPIO link, and get the separate link adapter build working.

Then it’s time to get it all building on all platforms - with some extra IServer code for Windows ‘cos serial I/O is a completely different beast on the Fischer-Price OS (of course it is, blessss…)

And I’m maxed out with other stuff involving different hats… so I’m not setting deadlines, other than “the future” :)

#Transputer

Hmmm. I hooked Link0 of a Transtech TTM15F-85-F module up to the host card, and it's flagging Error and failing to communicate. I can see the peek command on LinkIn but no reply on LinkOut. Very odd. #transputer #Transputers

Turns out if you want a Replicator, all you need to do is learn Occam. #transputer

I _think_ this means my soldering is OK and it’s working! #transputer

Got my first transputer program running from my #PC6502

Very simple code that spits out 0xAA000000 if it’s a 16 bit transputer and 0xAAAA0000 if it’s 32 bit.

Output is -
<< READ =$AA
<< READ =$AA
<< READ =$00
<< READ =$00

Next write something simple to confirm the tool chain I have works.
Then a server program to run on the 6502, so I can then run some Mandelbrot code on the transputer.

Long way to go, but fun

So the question; what should I try and get running on my #Transputer?
Obviously this is going to be one of my first to try - https://www.geekdot.com/1st-code-example/
But I'd like something that does a memory test maybe, or ideally something that scans a network of Transputers (Yes I have more transputers and yes I am thinking of hooking them all up just because).
links to any suitable tools (sadly all of my current Transputers are integer only) would be gratefully received :)

1st code example - GeekDot

For the fun of it, here’s my first Commodore BASIC v2 program which does 3 things. Line 1-50: Initialize the Transputer and set/get its status. Line 69-110: Write (poke) some data into T’s memory and read (peek) it back. Line 128-240: Send a little program to the T and read its result. 10 PRINT"INIT TRANSPUTER" … Continue reading 1st code example →
