	What about the Texas Instruments TMS320 series IBM board?
	It might be a called a development kit. I believe it can do
	5 Million multiply and adds per second (or something equally
	outrageous), is a full featured DSP chip, and a K&R C compiler
	accepting inline assembler is available. I assume the price will
	be more than if you build it, but it would certainly be easier.
	AT&T also has a DSP chip with C-like instructions, but I
	don't know if there is a PC board.
