Does anyone know of an affordable device (i.e. less than $300) that will read SMPTE from the audio track of a tape recorder and interface to the Amiga? Unless I can find such a device I will probably just use a SMPTE to MIDI time code convertor and a MIDI interface... kind of indirect, but its all I've found so far... I am going to tackle my CIS senior project on a 2000 and would appreciate any advice, technical references, etc that anyone can give. Thanks Brian Coe bsc@beach.cis.ufl.edu
