Well, you might try ORA Electronics in Chatsworth, CA.  Their number is:
(800) 423-5336.  They have a most interesting catalog with lots of Computer
stuff, audio/video/telephone stuff, etc.  I might also add that they have
a four-way switch box specifically for Mac DIN-8 stuff that sells for $30.
Note that they are a wholesale distributor, and I'm not sure what their
policy is concerning individuals or schools.  However, I'm sure you can
call and find out.  I've been dealing with them (through my consulting
business) for almost five years now, and have been very happy.  Any orders
in before 3pm ship out the same day, and you know on the phone what is in
stock and what is not (usually everything is in stock).
