A while ago I asked about drivers for the Soundblaster or any MIDI
interface for 386bsd, linux, or minix.  And here's the summary o'
responses:

1) Soundblaster: there's a Linux driver, available at nic.funet.fi
(pub/OS/Linux/xtra/snd-kit) and tsx-11.mit.edu
(pub/linux/ALPHA/sound).  Josh Osborne (stripes@pix.com) said he had
patches to get this thing to work with 386BSD.

2) MIDI: the above driver for SB handles Midi output, but no input.  I
also got a note from gary@minster.york.ac.uk that he has a linux
driver for the Roland MPU401 Midi interface, which apparently has not
been posted or archived, so if you want it, you'll have to ask him
nicely.
