Hi Cheryl:

  I've been happy with a simple link to the raw MIDI device, i.e.:

    ln -sf /dev/midi ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi

  Actually, I'm using one of the ALSA virtual MIDI (virmidi) devices, it 
works fine too. Thus, on my system I created the link so:

    ln -sf /dev/snd/midiC1D0 ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi

  I do the same on my laptop because it has no physical MIDI hardware.

Best,

dp
