The Arduino basically acts like a standard USB-to-serial converter,
just with Midi plugs at the other end instead of the 9-pin serial
connector. So it should act like a normal serial port.

No, it doesn't make a difference if anything is connected to the other
end or not. As far as I can see it looks like Hatari hangs trying to
open /dev/tty.usbmodemfd141.
If you know if there is a command like "strace" on OS X I could try to
get a trace of the function calls to see what exactly is happening.
