USB to ISA adaptor interface card.

[Gavin...@ultracontrols.aero]

For those of you that have a spare Transputer ISA card (i.e. IMSB008 +
2Mb T4/8 TRAM module) but no spare old PC with a ISA slot then this
may help.

ARS Technologies offer a USB to ISA adaptor and includes free software
(supports most variants of Windows) to provide a virtual ISA
interface, so that the ISA card can be seen within a DOS command
console under windows.

Using this hardware (details below) and the ARS software you can
install the Inmos Occam / C toolset and compile and run code on the
ISA card.

The items can be brought from the website and shiped to the UK. Fedex
costs are a bit hig at approx $70.

Have fun.

Nice option, but at $135->$249 very expensive. Cheaper to just purchase
an old ISA PC from a computer surplus store.

I picked one of those up on ebay a few years ago for $10. The seller
nor did any potential buyers realize what was being offered :-)
