But using a ("normal") workstation (even low end class) as a host for a DSP might be a solution. You can run Linux there to do all the OS stuff and just do "number-crunching" stuff and may be some little scheduling or ISRs at the DSP.
This seems a reasonable solution to me, and there is some work in progress to allow linux users to take advantage of these external processing services a DSP offers.
