After the sound driver was fragmented into different modules, however, the
external MIDI doesn't seem supported. I install the sound driver, install
the sb driver specifying the settings with modprobe, and the external MIDI
still doesn't show up. I stopped upgrading because of this, but eventually
ran into one too many problems and decided to go to 2.1.86.
The external MIDI used to show up under MIDI devices in /dev/sndstat.

I have to be missing something simple here, but I can't seem to figure out
what it is. Any ideas?
Apologies if this has already been hashed on the list. I had a list outage
for a while.
