Before I reply to the first question, let's clarify something else: Your
DAT tape deck will output digital information which the Falcon will be able to
receive and directly digitally manipulate, then send back to the DAT, this
through the DSP port or something. You will not need to sample anything.
(that would be bad, because you would add a D->A phase to get the music/sound
to the Falcon, the falcon would need to to a A->D conversion to work on the
data, and then you would have to to another D->A and A->D conversion to get
it back to the DAT. Sound-quality-wise one avoins A/D D/A conversions as much
as possible)

But, if you were to sample at 48Khz or at 44.1Khz, or other specific sampling
rates apart from those that the Falcon allows, you'll need to provide the
synch signal externaly, i'm told. One should see 3rd party small hacks to do
this without delay, at minor cost. I hope this clarifies and is accurate.
