- It took me all of two minutes to find it, thanks to www.altavista.com:
- ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/ham/dsp/dsp56k-tools/dsp56k-gcc.tar.Z
-
- That's the sources to a DSP56k port of gcc 1.37.1.
- I know I've seen it compiled for the Atari machines _somewhere_...

- Well, IMO most programs don't really do anything that the DSP could help
- them very much with. You have to remember that the data transfer takes a
- lot of time and the DSP is not very easy to use (or efficient) for many
- ordinary things.
