	I've tried this before but never got a byte :(
Maybe, my configuration is incorrect:

OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130
Load type: Driver loaded as a module
Kernel: Linux flex.dorms.msu.ru 2.2.14pre18 #2 Wed Jan 5 22:17:13 MSK 2000 i586
Config options: 0

Installed drivers: 

Card config: 

Audio devices:
0: ESS ES1868 AudioDrive (rev 11) (3.01)

Synth devices:
0: Yamaha OPL3

Midi devices:
0: MPU-401 (UART) MIDI

Timers:
0: System clock

Mixers:
0: Sound Blaster


	I've tried both uart401 and mpu401 modules but none
of them responses to key presses. Maybe there's some trick
with interrupt setting?

	The soundcard is detected right, audio and midi
playback is ok, but I can't read MIDI.

	Can anyone help me in getting my MIDI keyboard
working under Linux? (In Windows it works perfectly.)

	Thanks in advance,
	Taras
