   One problem is that many people use the DSP for real time signal 
processing. Once you make it multitasking, you lose that. Maybe what
we need are two (2) DSP's on the motherboard. One 56001 for the WM
grunge work (sounds, etc), this one multitasks. Then another one
for dedicated real time work. 
   Of course, NeXT's should come standard with the QuintProcessor. :-)
Has anyone seen what they can do? Amazing.... They can really blow
your socks off when you have a good controlling program.
