  Thanks to all those that replied to my plea!

I am faced with the question of which processor to use for my final year DSP
board. I seem to have narrowed the choice to TMS320x0 or MC56000 series.
Which are better/easier to use etc? I will be using it for audio with the
required converters, and would want to use it for housekeeping on the board
too (i.e. rs232) so I need a reasonable address space (>64k).
I only have docs for the TMS's so far- what can anyone tell me about the
56k series? (just an outline!)
Are there any other alternatives? Would I benefit in using the 56k as I
have a 68k background?

Thanks again...
