Indeed - that's the whole point of timecode. Assuming maths of  
sufficient accuracy, two devices with the same tempo figure should be  
able to stay locked by constantly doing the frames-to-beats  
calculations; they aren't free-running. My original point was that  
devices seem to do a pretty good job even if they *are* free-running,  
so timecode-lock should be no worse.
