Hi Magnus,

Yes I was involved with the DSP56xxx family from the beginning at Corp.
Research to Motorola Semi. Handover.

It was designed for 56K modems and speech products and I turned it over to
the now Audio product. Other folks helped but it was my relationships and
engineering that promoted it to become the Audio processor.

Regards,

Terry
