- As I understand it, the Indigo's MC56001 DSP controls the audio and
- serial I/O. However, it doesn't appear that a user application can tap that
- resource to do their own bidding. Things that come to mind include processing
- waveforms from test equipment, special serial protocols, audio compression.
- Is there any plan to make this processor user programable in future machines?
- Why not in these machines? Just curious, It would open up a number of other
- uses for a machine like the Indigo.
