during a quick google search i came across this persons linkedin profile:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/hag%C3%A9-van-dijk-68792
looks like he was part of the project team that built apple midi manager v1.0
its a shame none of these old-legends ever pop-up into the active communities.. life goes on i suppose. i guess most people move their focus on to new + different things
heres something worth noting:

Software developed by Apple for the Macintosh computer to allow MIDI applications to communicate with each other through virtual MIDI connections inside the computer. Basically it works like a virtual patch bay, allowing the user to manually route MIDI data and sync information between components installed in the system. Due in part to the widespread success and usefulness of OMS and FreeMIDI, development stopped on MIDI Manager in 1995. By today’s standards it is relatively slow and cumbersome to use, but there is still the occasional circumstance that requires it.
MIDI Manager
The MIDI Manager is obsolete and no longer supported. MIDI (the Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard protocol for sending audio data and commands to digital devices. If you are writing MIDI software and need timing, synchronization, and communication services, you may wish to investigate the Open Music System from Opcode Systems, Inc. QuickTime also provides certain MIDI services, such as the ability to play standard MIDI files.
MIDI Management Tools Set v. 2.0
M0240LL/D $35.00
You can find from net the v.2.0.2 update, but it only has updated binary files and it doesn't have
documentation and source code examples and of course not 44-page manual.
Apple MIDI Manager
Source: Order from APDA ([email protected])
Order code M0240LL/E, price USD35
Description: The official word on how to construct MIDI programs for
the Macintosh; includes a program disk and 44 page manual.
Apple also plans to incorporate MIDI Management tools into System 7.0 and allow MIDI Applications to share the same information, according to the presentations at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference in May.-- https://books.google.ca/books?id=ijAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT35&lpg=PT35&dq=apple+midi+manager+developer+set+-core+-usb+-%22audio+unit%22+-%22OS+X%22&source=bl&ots=MqkUms6O4e&sig=_SHpw9YdJLgarQerb58ZKu2WYZ8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj8pvPH1dnXAhXE24MKHe6ACmEQ6AEIZzAQ#v=onepage&q=apple%20midi%20manager%20developer%20set%20-core%20-usb%20-%22audio%20unit%22%20-%22OS%20X%22&f=false (https://books.google.ca/books?id=ijAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT35&lpg=PT35&dq=apple+midi+manager+developer+set+-core+-usb+-%22audio+unit%22+-%22OS+X%22&source=bl&ots=MqkUms6O4e&sig=_SHpw9YdJLgarQerb58ZKu2WYZ8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj8pvPH1dnXAhXE24MKHe6ACmEQ6AEIZzAQ#v=onepage&q=apple%20midi%20manager%20developer%20set%20-core%20-usb%20-%22audio%20unit%22%20-%22OS%20X%22&f=false)

close!!! almost had it
we need to find a mirror that was created in 1999 or 2000 and we probably will find that file in it
Introduction to MidiTools:
MidiTools is a concise set of midi resources for creating any control oriented stack or application using Apple's Midi Manager. Any application that uses these types of resources ( Hypercard, Supercard, Director, etc. ) can make use of them. There are no timing services in MidiTools; it is strictly designed to allow anyone familiar with scripting, the ability to create sophisticated midi controllers, editors, librarians, etc. using Hypercard as the programming environment.
Hypercard was a natural choice for this because of it's extremely versatile features. Prototyping is much faster because of the ease with which a programmer can create buttons, and fields; and to be able to see the results of a script immediately. There are also many stacks around to show virtually any technique, as well as the example stacks included with the package.
You have 5 types of controls, as well as xcmds for sending and recieving midi data through Midi Manager; and a generic set of data processing utilities to help you convert the sysex data to useable information. There is also a useful editor that will help you to create and edit buttons, fields, and controls more easily than the built in editor in Hypercard.
A fair amount of midi knowledge is necessary for creating complex programs similar to what you see on the market, but can come with time. There are books available from most good book stores and mail order that can help, as well as on-line services that provide many examples, and useful utilities to help you develop your skills.
What is required?
Macintosh OS9
Midi Manager
Midi Interface
You can run the software in a very limited fashion from OSX in the OS9 emulator, but it is recommended that you run MidiTools on an old OS9 Mac with Midi Manager. You can use the OMS 123 driver for Midi Manager to experiment with OMS only applications, but it is limited at best. The new version of the Run Time Editor from RCS Programming has facilities for controlling midi (CC commands only), so you should probably switch to this...but Midi Tools is free!
i think the best bet is to locate the obsolete-unsupported.sit.hqx file
is this the 44 page book? i wonder?

Development kits provide the information you need to take advantage of the latest Apple technologies. These kits are available in the Development Kits Folder on our FTP site. They can also be found on the Mac OS SDK CD-ROMs as part of the Developer CD Series.
Note: For many of these development kits, you will also need to download Disk Copy.
!!!!UPDATE!!!!
not certain if it contains the guide. but i can confirm that it contains the sample applications! (6 of them?)
the file size is 7.8MB so this is considerably larger than the other package which contained only the minimum required components
its uncertain to me at this time if this needs to be on system 6,7,8 or if it works just the same on 9.2.2
Something can be inwhere did u see a file index of what the contents of the cd are??? (looking for this.. full index? prefferably searchable?

Can somebody check what is in that CD in folder:

did u try to run the app "midi management tools"?? the file is 220kb in the archive
i have not opened the files on os9 yet

i wonder how many other "missing documentation" there is to be found using this obscure "apple doc viewer" app?
I have to check that fileformat and think how to detect it from files.
check this page teroyk!!!

some very good goodies to be had here..
including a very interesting midiscope application
created by Ray Kurrzweil

not only that but guess what else it includes?
another Midi tools archive file!

the link to the apple doc viewer app is not working however..
can anyone provide this app?
here is the path to the file on the old dev.apple.com site:
ftp://dev.apple.com/devworld/Utilities/Apple_DocViewer__v1.1.1/
i guess the 220kb file needs to be opened with apple docviewer to read it
and this *IS* the 44pg manual in electronic format.. albeit an ancient APPLE document format
(other than PDF)
