Hi Dave
I've hacked a modem board that used the ADSP-2115 and the ADSP-2116
processors. These were made by Cardinal and another manufacture
that I forget. They were called "Soft Modems" because they had no
firmware and were boot loaded from the PC's disk.
I did a simple project to decode weather FAX using one of these
boards connected to a SW receiver. It was mostly just a filter
and zero cross detector. I used some code that someone else had
written on the PC to take the zero crossings and display the image.

I am wondering whether any member of this mailing
list is interested in
early DSP chips?
That depends on what you mean by "early". I really like the Motorola
DSP56001 chips (I've hacked on them a bit, and I have a tray of new ones
just waiting for a cool project) and I've sniffed around at the Analog
Devices ADSP-2100 chips once I found a stash of them...they look rather
nifty as well, so they're also waiting for a cool project.
