I just bought a Sun 386i for home use.  I too am planning on using it for
MIDI.  Fortunately, the 386i has a PC/AT bus so I should be able to
install an MPU-401 (or clone) and write a Unix device driver for it. I
haven't actually _tried_ this yet (I've never written a device driver for
Unix and I hear that it can be a nightmare...) 

I'm well on my way to having a graphic score editor built on SunView, but
I have not yet addressed the MIDI device/real time issues.

So... Are there any other 386i/MIDI users (or potential users) out there?
Has anyone from MIT (CSOUND) or CMU (the MIDI Toolkit) played with the Sun
386i?
