[Eat me, smoke me, drink me]

Mild Flame: I took delivery of a Mac Plus last weekend...truly a good
upgrade of a good machine.  Problem is, I have peripherals (specifically
MIDI hardware) that wants to use the old D9 modem port.  The Macintosh
peripheral adaptor (service part #MO 185) did *not* come with the Mac Plus
and will not be available from Apple until mid-February.

Am I being punished for buying a Mac Plus so soon after the announcement?
(A valid question, since the price when I can get the part will be $30).
Does anyone have a quicker/cheaper solution?  MIDI-wise and modem-wise, I
am dead in the water until then.

Thanks in advance for any help.
