You mean emu10k1?  What's ld10k1?

It seems to me that both this list and the rosegarden list are full of
people who don't have this working.  Some of them are "easy" fixes,
but it certainly doesn't "Just Work" for a lot of people besides me.

I'll try booting the demudi-live disk on this machine.  I think I
tried it a couple of months ago, but my memory is vague about what I
tried and what the results were.  

I'm getting a new laptop next week, and I'll certainly try demudi or
something on that.  But it's probably fast enough that it doesn't
matter whether I get hardware MIDI working.  This machine is the one
with the good screen for publishing, and it would be good if it had
good MIDI output for proofreading as well.  Timidity at it's best has
a lot of dropouts on this machine.

Maybe.  I found them an unpleasant bunch the last time I was reading
it.
