We are looking into a replacement for a roomful of MassComp metal to
be used for psychoacoustic experiments.  I am very intrigued by the NeXT
and its built-in DSP chip, but am afraid it may have a serious limitation
that will make it useless for our needs.  From what I have heard so far,
the highest sampling rate supported (without additional hardware - we need
this now, not 7 months from now!) is 44Khz.  Since most of the work in this
field uses 50khz data, this could be a big problem.  Can anybody confirm
or debunk this?  Excuse me if this is old news, but I've just started to look
seriously at the NeXT in the last week or so.
