An Atari ST (with some simple software) would make a nice
MIDI-to-RS232 converter.  It's got the ports already, lots of
memory, and it's cheap.  You wouldn't even need the monitor, and if
you could arrange to put the software on cartridge, you wouldn't
even need a floppy drive.  

(I'm not volunteering to write the software.)
