	es137x, (for me an elcheepo pci soundcard)
	http://www.cnd.mcgill.ca/~mat/es137xmidi.html

	I'm about to start cmi (on board sound card) but I have a

this is done, quite a few other cards should be easier.

	I would *love* to have an USB-midi device.  I'm sure I could
port the netbsd driver, hint hint.

	Cheers,
