Yes, there is a fantastic UNIX/DSP development on the NeXT.  Each NeXT has
a Motorola 56001 DSP, Bug-56 DSP symbolic debugger, macro cross-assembler, and
simulator.  Ariel makes the QuintProcessor which is a NeXTBus board with
FIVE 27Mhz 56001 DSPs if you need the extra horsepower!  Singular Solutions
makes a Analog/Digital interface for the DSP.  It features two channels of
16-bit delta-sigma conversion and 64 times oversampling.  As for PC support,
the NeXT has a program called SoftPC which allows you to run PC programs in a
window - it's very good too I've seen Windows 3.0 running on it in color.  A
company called Pencom makes Co-Xist which allows you to run X11R4 w/Motif in
another window.  Well, this may be more than what you are looking for but
then again...
