[comp.sys.next] SMPTE sync

	I'm trying to synchronize NeXT soundfile playback with 
SMPTE code from a 3/4" video deck.  I've started looking into
commercially available black boxes which convert SMPTE into
a (presumably) useful stream of serial data, but I haven't even
begun to consider the potentially nasty software needed on the
NeXT end to keep the sound playback in step with the SMPTE clock.
Also, by far the cheapest of these black boxes converts SMPTE
to midi clock bytes.  Has anyone successfully read midi data
from a NeXT port yet?

Has anyone else pondered these weighty matters?  Any advice?
