In theory, this is an internal file, and you are supposed to use
/dev/midi01 instead. In practice, it doesn't matter. :)

If you run "aconnect 72:0 80:2", all data written to /dev/midi01 will
be sent to the third output port of the 4x4. To send data in the other
direction, use "aconnect 80:2 72:0".
