Of course you can.  It's just a submini connector.  To adapt to RS-232,
you just need a modem cable.  That wasn't so bad, was it?

The Mac isn't out of the running for this at all.  If all the
communication is done via RS-232, it could likely be easily ported to
any computer.

This brings up a curious question, though (and I'm no expert):  RS-232
is simply a serial data connection.  MIDI is also a simple serial data
connection, with a little extra protocol attached to it.  Would it not
be more practical to do this with MIDI?
