Hellloooooo...! NadaNet!! haha. now that would be something. one IIe
for video and another for sound (running as master). you wouldn't even
need to spend that much time telling the slave video machine to advance
a frame. you could simply do a state-change poll on a single wire
connected between the joystick ports. you could even pre-load frames on
the video machine so you could swap a frame instantly. maybe that's
crazy talk.

BTW, how do you convert a sound file down to work with DAC522? is there
some kind of conversion program? and what is the overhead in terms of
bandwidth? i'd love to digitize some audio, too.
