The gentleman that wrote the article that started this thread pointed me 
at his source; it turns out that C011s are for sale on ebay.co.uk:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IMSC011E20S-INMOS-Link-Chip-Transputer-use-New_W0QQite
mZ230324751434QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET?ha
sh=item230324751434&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3
A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

there's 3 more left from that seller, if anyone wants one. Now I need to 
design a board based on this chip... can anyone recommend any books or 
other sources that teach ISA and/or PCI device design? I know how to 
solder and use a scope (and I could probably hack up a linux driver for 
whatever I make), but I've never designed or built a circuit with more 
than 3 transistors :-/
