Sorry to be so obtuse, but from the outside the pulsar package and yours do
seem very similar : the dsp card can be programmed from the PC to accomplish
any processing task (by loading a program compiled for the dsp into the card's
RAM I suppose ?). Is there a fundamental difference, apart from the 4 dsps and
the absence of a C++ compiler ? I understand a number of third parties are
developing programs for the pulsar, do they need special development cards
other than the $1500 one for this ?

Unrelated question : will it be possible for software, e.g. sequencers, to
subcontract realtime processing to your card, i.e. use it as a plugin ? If so,
will faster than realtime processing be possible too ?
