Now that would awesome!

I think the Storm dsp card that was later absorbed into/by Radius used the same dsp chips as are found in the 840av, and as the system software was multi-processor aware in the case of the AV Quadras, such a machine could simultaneously use all the dsp cards you can pop in.
So adding DSP cards (as long as they use the same type of chip) to a 840AV will add a speed boost? So the apps that are 'DSP aware' are Photoshop (see question below) and Picture Press. Does anyone know of others? I always wondered if anything actually used the DSPs in the 68K AV Macs.

Which versions of Photoshop support DSP cards? From what I understand it's 2.5 and 3.0. Any later versions work with them?
