Oh my!

As far as I know, there is no DSP56k client, but there are CUDA and
STREAM clients so in principle it should be possible. I hope to one
day have time and expertise to update the NeXT client to use the NeXT
DSP56k, just because it's about the last practical compute effort my
NeXT can contribute to and the DSP56k would probably about double its
keyrate. Your PowerMac would be way more powerful.

That's pretty cool! I still don't know the hardware mapping of the
cards, though. That's what I'm looking for.
