I posted a request for any info on transputer drivers that might be available
for FreeBSD.

From what I have recieved none are available, However I did get a pointer to
a Linux driver (It is available from nic.funet.fi:/pub/OS/Linux/kernel and
ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de:/pub/linux/transputer) and I made
a quick attempt at a port, but did not have much success (I don't think it was
difficulty, more a lack of time combined with inexperience in porting from
Linux to FreeBSD)

There seems to be a lot of interest in this area, particularly James Bonnyman
(jib@electric.eee.nott.ac.uk) expressed interest in doing a port if
anyone is interested in joining in/helping out/whatever

thanks again to all who replied

David
