You can use this with a G4 and. Jamport that converts the modem of the newer macs like the G4 tower to a serial port. Or use an old Apple with serial built in..

Studio 4 - 8-In/8-Out MIDI Interface/SMPTE Synchronizer

The (1992) Studio 4 is Opcode's 128 channel, 8-IN/8-OUT MIDI interface/SMPTE synchronizer. As an interface, the Studio 4 allows the Macintosh to independently communicate with each of the 8 MIDI INs and OUTs. As a synchronizer, it reads and writes SMPTE in all formats including 29.97 non-drop. With the Studio 4 and a Mac present, the Open Music System (OMS) can add filtering, channelization, note range splitting, controller mapping, velocity and control value modification, and other processing.
