Mac's standard serial port was the RS.422 (8-pin) instead of the PC-world's RS.232 (9-pin).
After the release of the first iMac and G3 blue/white this serial port was no longer implemented by Apple.
Macs of today have only USB as their standard serial interface. The Digital Interface 6050 / 6051 has its own serial port (DIN 8-pin) and is shipped with a cable RS.232-to-Digital-Interface-6051.
Other digital controlling devices (for example the IB) have built in a RS.232 modem-serial port.
A connection to the Mac is then possible with a standard Mac-modem-cable.
