..., or your local music shop which may still have a few.
---I doubt it. Shops tend to sell stuff of nowadays, and it is difficult to find one that sells 20-year-ago-stuff, although who knows.... [?]
The interface is not that old. The mini-din 8 was the standard serial port on the Macintosh until 1999. So it's barely 9 year old technology. Here's an example of a retailer who still sells them because a lot of this old gear is still in use in studios. If your local shop doesn't have one, they can likely get it, but you will pay a premium over buying a used one.

Set up a custom search on eBay for a year and just sit back and wait for it to alert you to a copy for sale.
---No idea of how is that done. Will investigate it though perhaps you could help. [:)] ]'> :)
You set up an eBay account then do a search for MIDI and then save the search in your account.

Last but not least: is this "2× mini-DIN-8 RS-422 serial ports (printer, modem, AppleTalk)" connection what is supposed to be used for MIDI?
I supposed that these mini-DIN8 are suitable for MIDI. Any of them?
The serial ports are what you plug the MIDI interface into. Either of them will work, however, if you want to use AppleTalk at the same time, or print, you should not use the printer port.
