Hi there.
 I've developed an ISA board to test some transputer boards (TRAM) I bought in
eBay,
I started with a prototype wired board on an ISA development card, and then I
made
a proper PCB in three iterations as I solved some bugs.
 The ISA connector was just because I have several old PC motherboards (80286,
80486, a Pentium MMX, and a AMD K5)
 The history of development is available at
https://nanochess.org/transputer_board.html
 The schematics and PCB are available at
https://github.com/nanochess/transputer/pcb
 In the same git you can get my operating system developed in 1993-1996.
 Enjoy it!

This is very much legacy electronics. The transputer was a nice idea when it was invented, but there are now (and pretty much always were) different and better ways of solving the problems it addressed.
