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?

You might want to talk to Peter Langston (201) 829-4332, psl@bellcore.com He has written a MIDI driver for a Roland box on the SUN 386i and has quite a lot of software for it.
