  You should be able to get one at a store for an adatper like that.. 
Just buy a mac serial cable...  It should have an 8pin din on one side, 
and they usually have a 25 pin RS232 on the other.. One it's the 25 pin, 
you can just get a 25pin to 9 pin adapter, which you can get anywhere as 
well....
