- You can't directly plug a digital audio source into the DSP port. Singular
- Solutions maufactures a high-quality box called the A/D64x which has
- digital inputs and outputs as well as A/D conversion. Ariel manufactures a
- ProDAT which has digital inputs and outputs. (I have had no experience
- with the ProDAT but can highly recommend the A/D64x).

- MetroTools is a commercial utilities package that contains a utility which
- converts various Mac sound file formats to NeXT .snd files. It works with
- both "flat" sound files and "snd reources". It doesn't convert from NeXT
- to Mac however. If you want more info on MetroTools you can send e-mail to
- info@metrosoft.com.
