Hi,
Quirky question: is it possible to run PureData (or another
<place_your_name_here> *modular*) on a DSP (or, still, another
<place_your_name_here> microcontroller) under a port of Linux?
I was thinking of building an hardware expander that would share the patches of
its software counterpart, just by dumping them on the device...
Does "m68k" refer to a family of Motorola DSPs?

No its refers to the 68000 series processors. Most DSP chips are not
capable of running something like linux nativly, you run linux on a host
processor that controls the DSP.
Porting the opcodes of pure data to a 56k DSP would be an enormous
ammount of work, and you'd probably get similar price/performance by just
buying a faster CPU anyway.
If we had audio over firewire working you could offhand the DSP work to a
stack of cheap miniitx boxes or something, but we dont ;)
