Hi -

Here are a couple of interfaces that are known to work well with the NeXT
and provide SMPTE support (which will be available in v1.0 of Presto due out
really, really soon!):

Studio3 - Opcode systems
Midi Time Piece - Mark of the Unicorn

Both of these require a custom *serial* cable (the MIDI cables are the same).
The serial-cable wiring can be found in the "zs" manual page as:

     NeXT 68040 to Some RS-422 Devices (Null-modem cable)

We use the Studio3 here and know people who use the MTP on their NeXT machines.


Hope this helps
Ralph
