It's my mistake. Sorry, Seigo-san and all.

To use serial driver for MIDI, your MIDI tools/instruments must have 
MINI-DIN8pin terminal called "HOST" or "COMPUTER".

((( You can't use serial-MIDI with old MIDI terminal(DIN-5pin),
    except your machine can set serial baud rate to 31250bps and
    prepare exclusive circuit to communicate Dsub-25(9) and Din-5. )))


The pin connections of serial cable for MIDI are like below ...

PC D-Sub9(25)     MIDI(Host or Computer) MINI-DIN8
   RTS 7(4) -------- 2 HSKi
   CTS 8(5) -------- 1 HSKo
   TxD 3(2) -------- 5 RxD
   GND 5(7) -------- 4 GND
   RxD 2(3) -------- 3 TxD


If you have Mac's serial cable(straight) and PC's one
(and you don't mind these cables never to be used for original way),
you can easily compose the serial cable for MIDI using these two cables.
