This is a great idea, and i am looking at the Montana card along with my Dakota card to eventually sync with another PC with a Dakota-Montana.
That gives you 32 trk lightpipe in/out on EACH PC with sample accurate sync between machines via ADAT sync cable. If you need 64 trks for live recording this just might work.  If you only get 12 tracks at 32 bits before PC breakup occurs, record 12 tracks on each PC, so you get 24 live trks from two PCs, 36 from three PCs etc. Or use one PC for recording and another for playback/mixing and backup.
So far i have had some minor problems with slight but persistant errors in timecode so absolute allignment is not achieved as it should be in some cases, for example during repeated fly-ins, but i have been working around this by fine alligning the files by mouse each time for now. I have started working on this problem a bit with Synt and am trying some things now...
The sample accurate clock seems just fine though, so you could split a stereo track between PCs and not get any phasing.

Should work, with their midi ports connected, one slaving the other mastering using MTC.

If there's a way to do this, will Synt please get in on the conversation. And if there isn't a way, there's your next upgrade.
