If the data is from/to an external device connected to the 8x8, it should
work with the appropriate port (0-7). If the data is for the 8x8 itself,
you could try the ninth port ("Port 8") which is called "Control Port" in
the Windows driver.

I don't actually have a MidiSport, so I don't know if or how it has to be
configured to do MIDI timing.
