Note: This is a repost--but I never saw the original make it to the network, 
	and I received 0 responses.
Apologies if you're reading it for a second time.

I am looking for information on dsp accelerator boards that plug into sun
3/xxx or SPARC systems.  I want to know 
	1. Names of Companies (and phone #'s, if possible)
	2. DSP chips the boards are based on.
	3. How the user interface is set up.
I am especially interested in companies using Weitek's 8000 series chips.

	Thanks for any help you can provide.

Well, I'm not sure if this would count as an accelerator but Valley
Enterprises (717) 668-3737 (Tamaqua, PA) makes a VME board with four
DSP-32C chips on board.  They supply development software for the SUN
in the form of C compiler, assembler, and linker.  They also have a small
applications library.  The board ranges in price from about 6K to 12K
depending on the number of AT&T DSP32C chips and the amount of RAM. 
Software is about $3000 for a full complement.  I have not used the board
but we expect to order it once our capital equipment monies have become
available :-).  

The only other DSP board I've seen for the SUN is a version of the SKY
Challenger which is TMS32020 based.  I have used this and it is OK, but
I wasn't overly impressed.  

Hope this helps,
bob
