| Is it possible to connect to external byte-wide memory   |
| and down load a program to fast RAM upon boot?           |

Answer:
       Yes.  The DSP56001 includes a bootstrap loader which
           can load internal program RAM from inexpensive, slower 
           byte-wide external memory. This operating mode can 
           also load internal program RAM from the Host interface.  
           Complete details of the bootstrap loader are given in 
           brochure BR505.
