I believe the 1.0 version is available on paper for US$2.00 (check) to

International Midi Association
5316 West 57th Street
Los Angeles, CA 90056
(415) 321-MIDI

For what it's worth, I have a version labeled:

Standard MIDI Files 0.06        March 1, 1988

You can get it by sending e-mail to our automated archive server:

archive-server@bartok.sun.com (or sun!bartok!archive-server)

containing the line: 

send music midi.filespec

It will be sent to you that night via return e-mail.  You don't need
InterNet access to get it.

If anyone can send me the 1.0 version, I'd be happy to make it
available.

Brad
