Granted the Indigo does not have the serial port-ish plug for the DSP but
it does have the far-more-fun stereo input plugs so you can record audio at
8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, 32, 44.1 or 48K without an add-on box. 

It also has an aes/ebu digital input and output spigot. I hooked a portable 
Kenwood CD player to it with a simple mini stereo plug and direct digital 
recording to disk "just worked". It also has a mike mini plug like the NeXT plus
seperate headphone and line level outs. 5 DSP audio ports in all.

SGI takes a more specific approach with it's DSP. It's used only as an audio
resource for the system. No DSP coding support is provided (that I could find)
for math or serial port hacking. But the audio is clean, fast and useable up to
DAT rates.
