- I installed the speaker driver under Win-OS2 3.1 (which I installed on
- a Service-Pack'd system) and it did play, albeit pitifully. I ended
- up removing it. The sound was very scratchy, I think because when OS/2
- dispatched another task, the speaker went off. And sometimes it would
- take a long time to play the "ta-da".
