I have two INMOS Transputers (T425, T805) in my computer -- is there an Ada
compiler for these processors?

Alsys used to have a transputer compiler for Ada 83, but
it may no longer be available, check with Aonix.

Go and ask Aonix Ltd in Great Britain (adrian.larkham@uk.aonix.com).

Hi,

Did you get any PD/GPL version for the transputers (GNAT maybe).  If so, send
a copy over to me (as well as any other transputer programs).  I maintain the
transputer homepage at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/1190. 
I have tons of software, books, etc on-line and all are legally free to
distribute.  There you will find the Helios Parallel OS, Parallel Prolog,
Standard ML, Modula-2, and a lot more. So, if you have anything that I can
include, just send me an email to rmeenaks@olf.com.  Thanks

There is an experimental gcc back-end for T800.
So, a port of GNAT is doable :-)

As far as I know, the transputer remains one of the few
architectures for which a GCC port has not been done (it
is an elegant though VERY unconventional architecture).
Thus a GNAT port is unrealistic at the moment.

No.  There is a port of GCC to the transputers.  Actually several ports.  The
last port was GCC 2.7.2.  It can be found on my webpage at
http://members.tripod.com/transputer.  Another older port was done for the
Helios Operating System.  There exists yet another port called tracc (a rare
one, very very difficult to find) which is GCC 1.?.?  I have a copy, but never
looked at it.  The GCC 2.7.2 code isn't really optimized too well though.
