Apparently, a MIDI adaptor for the Macintosh just an opto-isolator to
prevent ground loops and a clock to run the serial port at the speed
required for MIDI.  These should work just fine on a Mac II.

If you want to make your own, there is a construction article in
MacTutor around the end of 1985.  It is also in "The Best Of Mactutor,
Vol. 1"
