I'm a bit confused here. Is the DIN8 out of the Mac serial or
parallel signalling? If it's serial then all you need (as has been
pointed out), is a DB25 to DB9 converter, they cost practically
nothing and we have boxes of them. There was a time when PCs came
with one serial port DB9 and the other DB25.

If I remember correctly (and the chances of that get slimmer each
day) that is how we connected the NeXT up - there was a DIN8 to DB25
cable to which we attached either a DB25 to DB9 or a DB25 to RJ45
converter.
