At Line 6, any product that gets Line 6 downloads via MIDI
instead of USB and for the PC, we use MIDIOX as tool of choice. 
It has a number of good functions and commands for checking a 
number things. I think it's a free download, but you may
need to have some M-Audio MIDI interface hardware to run it on.

I agree completely with Iain. The problem is likely in your MIDI drivers; 
your devices are not being recognized.

Also, are other programs recognizing your MIDI devices?

I test out all my MIDI devices using MIDIOX (at midiox.com) on Windows. 
MIDIOX tells me what (if any) messages are getting through, the port and 
channel numbers.

With devices appropriately installed there is no reason why you should be 
getting the console messages you do.

I think the key piece of evidence you have given us Jim is the
*** error opening MIDI in device: -1 (Unknown MIDI error)
This implies that Csound is not detecting any MIDI input devices on your 
computer. In this case -Ma will not work either and -M99 will not list 
available MIDI devices (there aren't any). You should check that you have 
the appropriate drivers installed. Perhaps confirm that the devices is 
picked up by other software.
In the meantime try running Csound from the command line. Frontends have a 
tendency to do things for you without asking, trying to be helpful, but not 
always being so.

Hope this helps,
Iain
