 I have been looking at the Motorola DSP56001, an integer DSP processor. 
 It uses 24 bit instructions and 24 bit integers with 56 bit 
 multiplier-accumulators. It can address up to 64K by 24 bits of memory.
 The processor runs at up to 10.25 MIPS, can do 24 x 24 multiplies and 
 accumulates up to 56 bits. This puts it above the 16 bit processors in 
 dynamic range, but below the floating point parts. The price is 
 currently $125 in single pieces. This is the only problem I see with it.
