Is there some simple way to just compile this one naim package statically?
I can't try it for a while, we have given up getting this computer to boot 
again and will have to do some transplants of drives and cards to one that 
probably works (except it is fussy about keyboards).

Yes (question one).  I doubt it (second question). I changed from egcs to 
gcc 2.95.3 - should I use gcc 3.2.3?  I upgraded binutils (to 2.12.90) and 
probably whatever else comes with 8.1 for compiling.

I can install gcc 3.2.3 and leave 2.95.3 and switch back if I want later.

I have a /dev/sequencer defined in /dev.

Please do, and let me know if it works for you and with which kernel.

insmod sb mpu_io=0x330 (etc.)
I tried also insmod mpu401 and then I think sound did not work at all - sb 
has it built-in, I think.

Could you check my config.sb (kernel 2.2.16) to see if I am missing 
something needed for midi?  http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl (maybe in a 
subdirectory?).  I should try my 2.4.31 kernel, where I included gameport 
and midi support, but I think bare.i for 7.1 had midi support - can you 
check that too?
