The Edge Connector

42

Transputer Motherboard User Manual

TMB M 711

Included in the accompanying cable pack is a mini-backplane board
(“hedgehog”) which plugs into the edge connector and brings out the
various links and ports onto standard connectors which accept link
cables and reset cables. The pinout of this connector is shown in
figure 36.

Essentially, the connector brings out the three control ports, the
link0s and link3s of all the transputers (for network configuration) and
the ends of the default pipeline. This is summarized for reference
purposes in figure 37.
