Speaking of which ... Is anyone using the Ariel DSP-56 board on a 386/486 pc running *UNIX* of any flavor? We're really interested in the ariel hardware and would like to use a 486-pc platform - but it MUST run X and Unix. The DSP-56 looks really nice, but the hardware seems to be supported only under MSDOS, and I don't have time to hack a device driver/library/debuggers etc to get the hardware running under unix. Has anyone done this already? One possibility is to use a sparcstation instead of a 486 box as the base platform, but we'd prefer to go with a pc, for a number of other reasons. Ater there other 56K (or C30,96K,32C etc :-) boards with A/D and D/A hardware comparable to the Ariel running under unix? I really like what they have, I just don't have time to start my project over again under a new operating system! Comments?
