Ever since (with great trepidation, much encouragement and advice from Darcy, and quite a bit of help from my local former student/Mac guru) I installed OS 10.2 and got midi running, I haven't had another problem - no loss of connection - nothing - only a slight delay on playback, which causes me no great hardship. It even continued to work (with no further fussing) when I converted to OS 10.3 (Panther). This is running in "classic" of course but, wonder of wonders, it's been entirely stable - a condition I have never experienced in OS 9.
Darcy is (as usual) correct in stating that both OS X and OS 9 drivers are necessary.
I'm eagerly awaiting FinMac 2004, but working happily on the G5 (having delivered on a promise to recycle my G4 to a friend in Sweden on a recent trip - thereby forcing the conversion).
