| NI NB-DSP2300 Software |

I picked up a National Instruments NB-DSP2300 card for my IIfx. It's a NuBus card with an onboard TMS320 DSP and 256KB of RAM. I've got a copy of LabView and NI-DAQ but does anyone know what the NI software support package is for their DSP cards was called, or its P/N? I can find lots of references to the hardware but I can't find much in the way of tooling for it.
I have a copy of the TMS320C40 assembler for DOS, but I need documentation or a way to upload my code to the card, which was available in the NI developer toolkit. It looks like there's a lot of vintage NI stuff out there from surplus stores, I just need to know what I'm looking for. |

An advertisement I found listed Labview 2 so that version or later should work.

Also some info here on how it was used: |

I saw your photos on Twitter! Excellent find - what do you have in mind to do with it? |

Not sure if I can do much with it unless I run across the software! I want to experiment with using the DSP for 3D transformation acceleration. The TMS320 was popular in the late '80s-early '90s as part of 3D chipsets. I have a VME crate with a 68040 but DSP VME cards are extremely expensive while this was $60, hah. If I can’t find the software package at least I’ll have a nice piece for the collection.
I did dig up enough information to know that I'm looking for the LabView DSP Development Toolkit, at least, particularly the NB-DSP230X Series Analysis Library and Interface Utilities. |
