	Not necessarily.
	The only problems that I had with the Windows Speaker Driver
	running under OS/2 were cured by ensuring that the DOS Settings
	notebook item HW_TIMER is set ON rather than the default OFF.

---With the MS speaker driver installed, WINDOWS will not work
under real DOS with OS/2 installed.  Thanks for the info about
the HW_TIMER, but I don't plan to re-install it, because Windows
then won't work under DOS, as I already reported.
