I don't want to sound crass (well, yes I do), but ALL Macintoshes since the beginning of all time have come with modem and printer connectors, and therefore with appletalk connectors as well. In fact, one of the earliest advertising brochures boasted that every Macintosh could be connected to an Appletalk network, and therefore to an Apple Laserwriter Printer. As everyone and thier mother who has used a classic Mac knows, the only significant difference Appletalk-wise is that the plug is a different shape. Most companies that made Appletalk connectors still make them in the DB-9 plug. In short, you were appalling wrong, and any look at a classic Mac will serve as a complete empirical disconfirmation of your claim. (I love this sort of talk, I'm a philosophy student).
