[line eaters became extinct a long tim Hello, Are there any DSP (Digital Signal Processing) boards available for the Amiga? Preferably Motorola 56001, but any other info will be gladly received. Thanks. --terry /* terry@chaplin.csd.uwo.ca * Terry Cudney Amistosa MicroWare 9 Durham Street, LONDON, Ontario, N5Y 2H9 */ -- --terry /* terry@chaplin.csd.uwo.ca * Terry Cudney Amistosa MicroWare 9 Durham Street, LONDON, Ontario, N5Y 2H9 */

Ed - Active Circuits, Inc. is an Amiga Developer located in Wall, NJ. You can see advertisements for some of our products in the September and December issues of AmigaWorld (pg 4). The DSP board Randell mentioned is called the Bonsai 2000(tm). The board is not yet commercialy available, but we hope to have a formal announcement ready for AmigaWorld Expo in March. We feel very strongly that our board provides some of the most flexible and powerful signal processing capabilities on a microcomputer platform at a very attractive price. A typical configuration is expected to retail for around $1500.00. Final pricing is not available at this time. What follows is a list of specifications from a marketing glossy we're putting together - note that these specifications are preliminary and are subject to change before final release. -Eric --------- ACI Bonsai 2000(tm) DSP Board Specifications (Preliminary): Processor: AT&T DSP32C running at 50Mhz (One or two per board) Speed: 12.5 MIPS per DSP 25 MFLOPS per DSP (Single Precision) Each DSP can perform a 1024 point complex FFT (including bit reversal) in 3.2 ms. Memory: 35ns Static RAM SIMMS (1 wait state) Two SIMM modules per DSP Maximum of 2 Megabytes per DSP Expansion: High speed 32-Bit expansion bus provided for connection to external memory subsystems or tight-coupling to other boards (e.g. frame buffers). Interfaces: One digital serial interface per processor: Allows arbitrary I/O using daughterboards I/O daughterboards available from ACI: Voice band CODEC with RJ11 interface AES/EBU Transmitter/Receiver DSP-DSP loop connector Up to 16Mbits/sec sampling rate per processor Support Software: AmigaDOS(TM) Amiga EXEC device driver provided Amiga shared library provided Full C compiler, Assembler, Linker, Simulator and Link library of commonly used arithmetic and signal processing functions available. UNIX(R) UNIX SVr4 device driver available Full C compiler, Assembler, Linker, Simulator and Link library of commonly used arithmetic and signal processing functions available.
