Mathew,=20 I've added support for your year-old midi2 code (dated June, 14th) to = emu10kx driver. It builds well under -CURRENT (with addition of = d_version to device structures). It would be nice, if you can provide = snapshot of your current work to let people test it before commiting. Now, for day and a half (this weekend), at least three people downloaded = your midi2 code that I have on my website. Emu10kx can be compiled without MIDI at all (and they do not need to = download midi2 to build driver without MIDI or with NEWMIDI), and I = think these people do need MIDI under FreeBSD-CURRENT.=20 I also can say, that old NEWMIDI was not dead (MIDI I/O was working for = me) when it was removed from -CURRENT.
