I suppose there are several answers for your questions, starting with
what you mean with ``create [microtonal] music with a PC''... For instance, you can try with scales by using any MIDI keyboard connected to a computer with the synthesizer software ZynAddSubFX, you can re-tune (or create) MIDI files with Scala, write microtonal staff notation with abcm2ps, do real time sound synthesis/processing with PureData or csound...

I hope these links can help:
