I took a look at the MPC8727 family. The CPM runs at 200MHz max, and the SSCs can clock at 1/4 that, so only 50MHz; 50MHz/8-bits = 6MB/s. They're too slow to move 132MB/s. There is only two external buses too, and no external bus to memory DMA, since they are the same bus. Also, the MPC834x series exists, and beats it out performance wise. Thanks for the pointer though! Dave
