- No.
-
- I would strongly recommend you stick with the SoundBlaster Pro 16 or
- IBM M-Audio adapter. Both have nonbeta, released OS/2 2.x MMPM/2
- drivers.
-
- The PAS-16 drivers are in beta. (All drivers are available via
- anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu; check file /pub/os2/00Index for
- location.)
-
- Gravis has made promises, but nothing has shipped. You should tell
- them why you are taking your business elsewhere.
