Brendan Robert continues to improve JACE, the Java Apple Computer Emulator.   Today, he added Passport MIDI Adapter support and fixed a minor bug.  Per Brendan’s comp.sys.apple2 post:

“I just confirmed that JACE can output music from Ultima V very very very very beautifully.  Note that if you use linux you might be better off using OpenJDK as the Sun JRE drivers SUCK for audio. Passport MIDI is mostly emulated at this point.  I didn’t implement any sort of actual MIDI IN/OUT functionality — just a virtual MIDI Out to the embedded java midi synth engine.”
