Hi Raymond

Motorola offers quite a lot of paper about the DSP56000/1. Ask there for
literature. 
I'm designing a multi DSP system for parallel processing. As RAM I use
the Motorola DSPRAM MCM56824 (8k x 24 bit) plus common chips (32k x 8 bit)
for extended appliactions. Decoding is done via GALs (Lattice 20V8, 16V8).
This is a fast (some ns) and flexible way of decoding and partitioning.

As peripherals serve standard 68xxx devices, but they require different
bus signals and timings. This interface is done with GALs.

My IO devices are Crystal converters: CS4328 (2 x 18 bit D/A)
                                      CS5326 (2 x 16 bit A/D)

That`s all for the moment.. (I mean: good luck!)
