A Look At A Gaggle Of Transputer Boards

Lance Harvie revisits his collection of vintage Transputer boards, including a university-era T400 board and a newly acquired four-processor T425 board. The Transputer was a 1980s UK-designed processor built for task-level parallelism by networking standalone compute nodes — a precursor to modern cluster computing. The four-CPU board is notable for having all inter-processor serial links connected on-PCB, making it a self-contained parallel system, and its chips were manufactured as late as 1999 by ST Microelectronics after the UK government cancelled the project. Lance plans to eventually power up the boards and interface them with a modern Linux machine.

Reviving MSN Messenger’s I-Buddy USB Accessory

A look at reviving the i-Buddy, a USB HID accessory originally designed for MSN Messenger that could light up, twist, and flap wings in response to IM notifications. Using a Windows 7 PC, the Escargot service (a community-run MSN Messenger revival), and a patched Windows Live Messenger 2009 client, the i-Buddy is brought back to life after tracking down a compatible version 2.10 of its software from an old forum post.
