I'm not sure if this in On-topic or Off- topic. What year was the Mac II
introduced?
Anyway -
Does anyone have, or know where I can get, for a fairly low price a MIDI
card for a Mac II? I'm also looking for a network card for a Mac II.

This should be pretty easy to find as long as you want 10Base-T, I know
from personal experience that 10Base2 is hard to find.
What you want is a
NuBus Ethernet card. You can often find them in junk shops that
deal in
old parts, and at swap meets. Though I suspect there are people on the
list with extras.

Forget it. If you want a midi capable machine from that era get an Atari ST
with built-in MIDI plugs and prgs. like Notator or Steinbergs Cubase.
With a 512, a Plus, an SE, a llci, and a PMPC/AV also in my collection only the
AV Power Mac approaches the bare computer music test like an ST and the music
add-ons are more numerous. Post Atari Falcon it's a toss-up tween PC or Mac but
definitely more costly.

This is one of those times when eBay is your friend.
NuBUS Ethernet cards,
especially out of productions ones tend to go pretty cheaply. Should also
be possible to find 10Bas2 with no great difficulty.
Just look for something like a Kinetics/Shiva/Dayna EtherPORT/DaynaPORT or
one of the old Apple ones (a rebadged 3Com 3C5x3). Apple's is supported
by standard system software. 3Com driver is still on the website. The
Kinetics and Shiva are supported by teh Dayna driver; Dayna's web site
still being up the last time I looked (if not, I have a copy of the
installer).
Old cheap coax (10b2) cards aren't hard to find, but I think in most cases
another $5 or so for a newer buffered card is worthwhile (like the Asante
or Farallon). Most people I offer the combo cards (10bt and 10b2) prefer
that option over either of the single function cards too. When you can get
a brand new in the box Asante or Farallon for $20, the savings on a cheaper
card seem to have less value to me. (Asante and Farallon run fine with
Apple software, and both have tech support that is GREAT).
I'm not sure of this, but I think the Dayna cards driver has some problem
with newer OS releases (likely not an issue except in a nubus PPC).

Macs use adapters via the serial ports, and they are pretty common. Midiman
is a good one, but make sure you get one with a passthrough switch so you
don't lose the use of the port during non-midi times.
I have every flavor network card you could want for a mac, just email me
directly with your plans. I even have a new batch of Asante cards still in
the sealed boxes that support 10bt, 10b2, and 10b5 all on the same card.

If you want a Token Ring NuBus card, I've got one you're welcome to
have.

If you threatened to give that to me, how much would I have to pay you to
prevent it? :-)

Of course, you can probably gouge even more money out of me by threatening
to also give me Token Ring hubs and any other Token Rink paraphenalia. :-)

Not sorry,

Somebody out there must still need one, and when you find them see if they
want a few copies of Rumba for windows version 1.1.
