Andreas Gustafsson, the person who tested the NetBSD driver,
suggested I post the following disclaimer:
The version of NetBSD supported by the MPU401 driver included in
the tclmidi-2.0 distribution is the NetBSD-current snapshot of
March 17, 1994. The driver does _not_ work under any officially
released verion of NetBSD, nor under the current development version,
without substantial changes. Patches for NetBSD-1.0_BETA will
be made available shortly.
Since I don't run NetBSD personally, I did not realize things had
changed so much. Sigh. Andreas says he has patches and when he
sends them to me, I'll make them available to all who request them.
I will release a formal 2.1 version with this and other changes
in the near future.
