Hmm. I already find the 840avs DSP acceleration of photoshop to be
near useless. And I haven't found the software for my ThunderIV card's
DSP daughterboard (which has 4 3210 DSP chips) yet, and I doubt I'll
find it very usefull either. I guess I probably don't need to tackle
this board also. Especially since it doesn't seem to come with docs or
compilers.
