I think the issue here is that Apple provides the drivers for its own
video, audio, NIC and such but nothing else.

If you have a stand-alone MIDI interface that connects through a PCI
card, you may well be out of luck.

You may also be out of luck if your MIDI interface connects through a
USB interface but the interface driver authors "got cute" and wrote
something that is based on WinTel hardware. There is no guarantee that
you can take a MIDI interface and plug it into the MAC and have the
accompanying drivers work.
