There's definitely a DB15 there, and I already bought an adaptor
cable.

I wasn't sure if my problems were due to not turning things on
properly.  I'm new enough to this that driver error is not entirely
unlikely.  alsaconf didn't mention midi at all.  Nor did dmesg or
lspci.  (lspci did mention 0x300 as unknown, and I seem to remember
vaguely from ISA days that address was typically related to midi.)

Okay.  Ta muchly.
