%I am faced with the question of which processor to use for my final year DSP

Well, I've used the TMS32010 and the DSP 56001. This is not really a fair
comparison, since the 32010 is clearly a first generation chip, and the
56001 is probably third or fourth. Anyway, I hated using the 32010. If
you must use TI, use one of their later generation chip. I found the
command structure very difficult to use (it would make you write inefficient
code).
%Would I benefit in using the 56k as I
%have a 68k background?
Yes, most definitely. This is one of the things I like about the chip.
I really enjoy programming all of Motorola's line, from the 6800 series
to the 68000 series to the 56000.
