Any early DSP fans?

[Sebastian Brückner]

Hi,

I got several ISA boards that do voice recognition (single words  
only) and can emulate a (slow) fax or data modem. Each of the boards  
has 8 DSP32 and I think 2 mb of RAM (maybe 4?). I got quite a bit of  
documentation and some of the driver source as well (works on DOS and  
Solaris). There was a SBUS version of these boards as well but I  
don't have any of those. Communication with the host system is done  
only via a 32-bit wide port.
Sorry but at the moment I can't remember the brand or the product name.
If anyone is interested I could dig them up and look up some more  
detail...

If anyone has a good home for one of the boards they are free to go.  
I am in Germany so shipping to the US might be expensive.

Sebastian
