The buffering of the external link interface allows longer cables to an external Transputer farm (max. 2 meters). To use it you will need to add some extra components to the bottom side of the card: * one 5V, TSOP48, 74xx162245 buffer (IC5) * 4x 0603 100nF caps (C19/21/22/23) * 2x6 90° Pinheader to the edge of the card * a 10k resistor * a shottky diode Due to a f-up by the idiot who d...")

Many companies had their labs experimenting with them and certainly every university which had an IT faculty. Obviously mostly British, still European mainland was on their heels. Thus, there's still(!) tons of documentation and mostly all fancy programming languages of that era (C, Pascal, Forth, Ada,..) were ported. This...")

They are developed and maintained by André Saischowa. The necessary files can be found in the NVDIDRVR directory. The drivers are based on the ET4000 drivers, which can be found [https://github.com/th-otto/MagicMac in the MagicMac sources]. To use these driver files, they need to be copied into your existin...")
