[sdiy] sdiy dsp board?

[Tim Ressel]

These are all great ideas. I even have a couple of the
2181 ez kits. Here's the thing: If I come up with a
filterbank app or an additive voice app, I just know
folks will want their own. Besides, I'd be cool to
stash a dsp board in a module (or a baby). DSP hols
some read sdiy possibilities, I believe.
