Many people have, at least to Indigos.  For the Indigo you need to buy a
standard Macintosh serial port to MIDI converter box available from
most musical instrument stores and many computer stores.

For the 340 VGX, you will need a special rs232 to MIDI converter box
called the Midiator made by Key Electronics, 7515 Chapel Avenue, Fort
Worth, TX 76116.  Telephone 1 800 533 MIDI.  Call them for the name of
your nearest dealer.  If you want absoolutely precise timing to within a
couple of milliseconds, you may have some trouble unless you dedicate a
processor to feeding MIDI.  We ship a special MIDI streams driver, that
provides the required accuracy even on single processor systems, as
part of the Digital Media Development option.  Unfortunately it is
currently only available for the Indigo.
