	I would suggest looking into the possibility of using the time-of-
day clock in the CIA chips as your timebase.  I'm 99% sure that the TOD
clocks are clocked by the AC line frequency, which will be the same for all
the machines you use.  Since the line frequency will serve as a common
timebase, synchronization will be trivial (sorta...).
