You might look into the Ariel PC-56.  This is a DSP 56001 based IBM PC
card that runs at 20.5 MHz.  It optionally has 16K words or 64K words of
external RAM.  The host interface is via the 56k's host port, so it's
8 bits wide.  I've used Microsoft C to talk to the DSP on a 12 MHz AT,
and you can get about 40K bytes/sec over the port without resorting to
assembler.  As an option, you can get a 14 bit brain-damaged AD/DA converter
installed on the card.  The price is $595 without the AD/DA chip, I believe.

You'll need the Motorola assembler to assemble code for the 56k.  This
runs about $400 from Motorola.

You also might consider building your own.  It's not that hard, and
Todd Day has posted some very good articles here about doing this.

For more info:

	Ariel Corporation
	433 River Road
	Highland Park, NJ  08904
	(201) 249-2900

For what it's worth, I'm not an employee of Ariel, just a (fairly)
satisfied customer.
