About

This is the source of the "CSA Mandelzoom" tool, created by Computer System Architects (CSA) around 1989.

It maps an existing Transputer network and loads workers onto every T4xx/T8xx found. Integer as well as floatingpoint workers are provided. Graphical output is either CGS, EGA or VGA currently at 16 colors max.

Prerequisites

• At least one Transputer (does not make sense without one)
• A x86 PC running [MS|Free|Open|PC]DOS - yes, it's DOS only
• Borland C-compiler (I use BC++ 2.0)
• LSC Transputer cross C-Compiler (use this link to download

Enhancements

I've added some functions as well as a high-precision timer, mainly used for benchmarking.

But still there are many things to do:

• Better graphics support (higher resoluton, more colors)
• Better Transputer detection (crashed if T2xx or C004 are found)
• Better Timer-Lib. This current is an eval version, manufacturer vanished, can't remove nag-screen.
• Enhance link adaptor support (currently B004 interface only)
• Mouse control?
• ...
