Is it an interface to external MIDI instruments? Or, is it a virtual MIDI instrument that uses the DSP capability of certain soundcards to play MIDI commands (perhaps explaining the mysterious sbmidi device). Is it something entirely different? Has anyone used tclmidi, a third-party TCL based MIDI editor and player under BSD/OS 2.1 (tclmidi claims to run under BSD/OS 2.x) using this device? --Eric
