Hi Mat et al., My motherboard claims to have an MPU401-compatible midi port on it, and I'm wondering if the stuff you've done will work with that? If so, I'd be happy to be a trial tester of the new stuff. If not, can you tell me if the old framework would work with that h/w, and, if so, how I'd go about enabling it? I've pulled down all the CVS files that I can think of dating back to 10 months ago, but it still doesn't work (he said, vaguely). It (midi.c, mpu.c) compiles (with tweaks for dev_t -> struct cdev* etc.); the sequencer.c doesn't compile yet (a few warnings left), but my device never shows up in /dev, nor is there any message in dmesg about it. This is on an i386. Suggestions? Do you recall what I need to put into my conf file, is just "device midi" sufficient, or are there other things? Thanks in advance!
