I use a Passport MIDI interface with my Mac Plus. It is extremely
simple, with one MIDI in and one MIDI out. It does not require an
external power supply. It comes with a DB9 connector, so you do need
an adaptor (DB9 to DIN8). The key point, though, is that it does not
need the +5 volt pin that the new connectors don't have. I guess it
powers itself directly from the signals. It operates at 1 MHz, is
about 2 inches by 5 inches, and comes with two MIDI cables. I use it
with Megatrack XL, Sound Designer, DMCS, etc. I bought it bundled with
Megatrack so I'm not sure how much it sells for.
I recommend it if you want a simple, hassle-free, power-free
interface. Now that I just got a second keyboard, I'm starting to miss
the 2nd set of ins and outs which the Opcode interface, for example,
has.
The model number is MH-01M.
