Assuming that you can live with working in the audio frequency range (which
I imagine covers most applications of DSP's), a company called Digi-Design
can help you out.  They primarily target the professional music industry, and
there Sound Tools product includes a 56k based DSP board, a stereo 44.1kHz
A-D-A interface, and software to do direct-to-disk recording, as well as a lot
of real-time and non-real-time processing.  The Sound Tools system goes for
about $3000, not including a Mac II of some sort, or an SE/30.

I hope this helps....
