Well, on a PC you could use an 6850 (ultra-dumb UART) hooked to the
parallel port. It has been used alot for MIDI and should handle DCB
just fine.

For the MAC you could probably run a similar setup to that of the old
MAC MIDI interfaces, namely level-convert the signal into RS-422
levels and also supply a reference clock.

Both solutions should require not too much work to get cooking and out
from them you should be able to geat the parallel data stream to dump
wherever you feel appropriate.
