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.
