Yea, the address was the problem.  I was using the data port ( A_MUDATA = 0x70 
offset)and I should have been using the command port (A_MUCMD = 0x71 offset).  
So, the open hook sends a reset, and also sends the command to go into UART 
mode.  The mpu module does spit out a few debugging messages.  Everything 
appears like it should be working now, except I see no MIDI data.  I don't know 
if the mpu module knows that the data port is the command port - 1.  I think it 
might be standard.  I found some old documentation from Creative, and it was 
typically port address of 0x330, and 0x331 consecutive addresses. 
It looks like it is probably a driver issue at this point, but learning how it 
all works is probably a good thing for the midi kit :-)

Thanks for the suggestions-
