[comp.music] How to program the MPU401

Hi, i have a blazing question:

How does one program the mpu401 to send/receive stuff (on the ibm)?

All that I know is that is uses address 0x330 (I think... it might be 
decimal)

Could someone post/mail samples of code to initialize, send a byte, recv a
byte and shut down?

I dont need interrupt drivers... I am perfectly willing to constantly sit at
the port... besides right now all i want to do is send stuff.

Also, does the GETIT30 package (avail. from 128.252.135.4 /mirrors/msdos/music
) hang on anyone else's setup?  Because the midiboard is working perfectly ok 
with Ultima VI, but it dies (at random times) when I try to use GETIT30.  Is 
this a IRQ conflict?  Its set on 2 on the board, and as far as I know,
nothing else uses this IRQ setting.

On the byline, what is "STANDARD MIDI MUSIC FILES"?  Is there a standard for
saving music? If so, where can I get the docs?  I would like my sequencing 
program to be standard if possible.

Thank you for listening....
