Can someone clarify what happens under OS/2's preemptive multitasking
when another task needs service and what the relevance of the 30hz 
time slice interval is.

Is one correct in assuming that OS/2 will within a matter
of ? milliseconds suspend the currently executing task and hand over
control to the new task requesting service without waiting for the completion
of the 30hz time slice?

Any guess on roughly what ? milliseconds can correspond to?
