I've been running Voyetra's Sequencer Plus Gold under DOSemu for many 
years. I load the ALSA virtual MIDI module (modprobe snd-virmidi) then I 
link the DOSemu MIDI I/O like so:

ln -s /dev/snd/midiC2D0 ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi

ln -s /dev/snd/midiC1D0 ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi_in

where midiC2D0 is the ALSA virmidi module and midiC1D0 is the external 
MIDI port on my PCI soundcard.

Just to be sure, I tested MIDI input with these connections before I 
posted this message. It worked fine. :)

Best,
