I am interested in building a dedicated 64K FFT board for an IBM-PC.
Unfortunately, I have no knowledge at all about the PC hardware, in
particular details about the bus. I would be grateful if somebody
could email to me:
(1) A good reference for IBM PC; PC-AT hardware.
(2) Whether anybody they know has built a FFT board.
(3) Any advice/warning re: board design for IBM-PCs.
I do not normally read this newsgroup. I would therefore be grateful if
email is addressed to raok@csv.rpi.edu. I shall summarize, if there is
sufficient interest.

What about the Texas Instruments TMS320 series IBM board? It might be a called a development kit. I believe it can do 5 Million multiply and adds per second (or something equally outrageous), is a full featured DSP chip, and a K&R C compiler accepting inline assembler is available. I assume the price will be more than if you build it, but it would certainly be easier. AT&T also has a DSP chip with C-like instructions, but I don't know if there is a PC board.
