Speaking of which ...

 Is anyone using the Ariel DSP-56 board on a 386/486 pc running
*UNIX* of any flavor? We're really interested in the ariel hardware
and would like to use a 486-pc platform - but it MUST run X and
Unix. The DSP-56 looks really nice, but the hardware seems to
be supported only under MSDOS, and I don't have time to hack
a device driver/library/debuggers etc to get the hardware running
under unix. Has anyone done this already?

 One possibility is to use a sparcstation instead of a 486 box as
the base platform, but we'd prefer to go with a pc, for a number
of other reasons.

 Ater there other 56K (or C30,96K,32C etc :-) boards with A/D and D/A
hardware comparable to the Ariel running under unix? I really like
what they have, I just don't have time to start my project over
again under a new operating system!

 Comments? Flames?
