Motorola DSP56000

[Brian Woodroffe]

I went to a public Motorola presentation yesterday (mostly
about the M88000-Risc set), and they told us that there
was available *now* a C compliler for the DSP56000; I wrote
down its product number as 'DSP56KCC' and I was quoted
a price of 500pounds for the version to run on a PC.  I
was also told there a versions for VAX-VMS,  MAC-2's, and
(I think) SUN's.  No doubt the USA domestic price will be
$500 even though the current exchange rate is about $1.80!

Motorola also stated that the same tools will be available
for the DSP96000; whether this is just because they are code
compatible or whether it will use the extra features in the
DSP96000, he did not say.

I hope this helps.
