Yes, /dev/sequencer and /dev/sequencer2 exist as device files in /dev, 
and now that ALSA is installed an attempt to open /dev/sequencer 
triggers an ALSA-related kernel module. The hardware device also exists 
and works. (I can play MIDI in that other OS.) But the driver says "no 
device found".

IO address - is that the "0x300"? Then need to learn how to find out 
which addresses are unused. Are you saying I can pick any unused 
address? Isn't there a specific address to address the sound chip?
