There have been various DSP projects.

One was intiated by Pete Snowberg. It died a few years ago - nobody knows
exactly why (except Pete). It was rumoured a third party was responsible for
Pete's decision not to continue with it.

The second DSP project I'm aware of is/was Ken Poppleton's one. Disappeared on
the horizon around last year or 93. The last thing I heard from ken is that he
was "terribly busy fixing the roof of his house". Well :-)
