The Transputer has mutated to a family known as the "ST20" CPU series. You will find these parts in the family to date: ST20TP2 (General release) ST20TP3 (Design for special customer) ST20TP4 (General release) I have designed a number of large comercial products around all three. They are a very nice chip to work with. Check 'em out. They are supported by ST Microelectronics and will be for at least three years from now. Your legacy code will compile with no problems. They even support the (Now obsolete) "os-link" - 10/20Mbs high speed UART.
