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.
