There  are certainly transputer boards for the PC. The most common in my 
experience si the B004, which is am ISA card with a T4 or T8 chip on it, 
rows of DIP DRAM, the link interface and ISA bus logic and not a lot 
else. It has the nromal link connectors on the rear bracket so you can 
hang more transputers off it. There's at least one non-INMOS clone of 
this board.

There was also a TRAM motherboard for the PC. I forget the number 
(B008?) It has the link interface (with ISA logic) and IIRC a C004 link 
swithc on it. You can fill it with TRAMs (TRAnsputer Modules, the 
simplest being transputer + RAM, but ones iwth SCSI, GPIB, ethernet, etc 
interfaces exist, as does one with a vector processor chip (alongside the 
transputer).
