The MIDI "driver" in KA9Q merely uses the BIOS functions for reading and
writing the MIDI port, same as it does for the serial port. I don't think
that would be much use for OS9.

However, this makes an interesting point - the MIDI port *is* just a serial
port, really, controlled thru a 6850 ACIA. The keyboard is also accessed thru
a 6850. Assuming your keybord driver works, that'd be the best place to start
looking for code to drive the MIDI port...
