"Wasn't this the promise of DSP chips when they were introduced a few years ago?"
I dunno about that, but there is no way DSP is as versatile as FGPA. IIRC, FGPAs effectively _physically reconfigure themselves_, so you could, for example, tell it to be a ZX80 one minute, and a 6502 the next, or even both on the same substrate with something else controlling them.

Can't do that with a DSP.

That's right - we don't have rights, only duties.
