Hi Doug,

Thanks for your response.

Yes; this was tried before I sent out my query.

I was able to get the external MIDI port to work with the card.  For the
record, here is what I did:

(a) Setup the card to work in SB compatibility mode using the DOS tool 
    supplied with the sound card.

(b) Configured a kernel with the `sb0' device and `mpu0' with the appropriate
    options for IRQ etc.  

    The default interrupt used by `mpu0' (6) is used by the floppy controller
    `fdc0', so you may have to change it as needed (use boot -c).
    
(c) Created the appropriate devices in /dev/ as mentioned in the sources
    ...isa/sound/*.

`playmidi -e' now works!

The hardware seems to respond to both `sb' and `wss' probes, so be sure not
to have both these devices configured in your kernel.  The MIDI interface
seems not to work if the `wss' driver probes the device first.
