I did exactly the same thing with my A500 about a year ago, had all the
same symptoms, tried everything you did to fix it, and none of it worked.
UNTIL one day when I opened up the case, reseated every socketed chip,
cleaned out all the dust and cat hair, and generally made sure it looked
brand new in there.  MIDI started working and has been fine ever since.
During that ordeal I bought a new MIDI interface with a switchable serial
pass-thru.  Anybody want a used Mimetics MIDI interface (no serial pass-thru)
for cheap?

Good luck.
