A couple of thoughts on this:

I don't know anything about your basic compiler.  Are you using the correct
notation for decimal and/or hex?  If the 31250 is correct, then that 90
isn't a status message.

Also, an endless loop sending only note ons might confuse some MIDI
applications, if they're expecting the input to be somewhat sensible.  Try
interleaving some note off messages.

Finally, those "waitms" calls are probably redundant, if the serout command
will buffer or block until it can send the byte.
