The CMU Midi Toolkit includes Adagio, a sequencer that should run on a 286.
Although it has no graphic interface, it is very powerful in that it includes
some jazzy features like allowing you to record without reference to a beat 
or to set up a file using ASCII codes that will allow you to play in multiple
tempos (tempi?).  The program is free. 

The DOS Executables are on this page (scroll down to find them):

There are also some other great little programs like a midi monitor and some
sysex programs.  The code is available if you want to roll your own.
