I have a friend working for the company DM Computer GmbH, Pforzheim,
West Germany. They sell a network using a glas fiber cable with
an opto-coupler hooked to the midi port. The network is of the
master/slave type and works. They are currently developing a much
faster network which goes through the ROM port.
Prices are outside the hobby market: about DM 1500,- (i.e. $ 800)
for a configuration with master, 2 slaves, cables and software
if I recall it correctly.
I can ask him for additional infos if necessary.
