While they are somewhat old, here are some books that might be useful (if 
you can find them):

MIDI Programmer's Handbook
         Steve De Furia & Joe Scacciaferro
         M&T Publishing
         (c) 1989
         ISBN  1-55851-068-0
                 Not system or language specific

C Programming for MIDI
         Jim Conger
         M&T Publishing
         (c) 1988
         ISBN 0-934375-86-0
                 Geared towards the MPU-401 interface and MS-DOS

MIDI Sequencing in C
         Jim Conger
         M&T Publishing
         (c) 1989
         ISBN 1-55851-045-1
                 Expands from 'C Programming for MIDI', uses Microsoft C 
5.1 & Turbo C 2.0

Finally, let me look around.  I might be able to find a spare Atari 
keyboard, though it may be for a 520/1040.  I' don't know if the Mega 
keyboard is compatible.  On the other hand, try the following links:

Hope this is helpfull
