Each NeXT has a Motorola 56001 DSP, Bug-56 DSP symbolic debugger, macro cross-assembler, and simulator. Ariel makes the QuintProcessor which is a NeXTBus board with FIVE 27Mhz 56001 DSPs if you need the extra horsepower! Singular Solutions makes a Analog/Digital interface for the DSP. It features two channels of 16-bit delta-sigma conversion and 64 times oversampling. As for PC support, the NeXT has a program called SoftPC which allows you to run PC programs in a window - it's very good too I've seen Windows 3.0 running on it in color. A company called Pencom makes Co-Xist which allows you to run X11R4 w/Motif in another window. Well, this may be more than what you are looking for but then again...
