I use the OEM Creative Vibra 16 here under Warp Blue.  Works well too.

The Vibra 16 will take an add-on wavetable card, or you can use something
like a synthesised keyboard via the card's MIDI port, to generate sampled
sounds.

OS/2 is next to hopeless for GM support, although I run my Roland keyboard
and MIDI sequencer quite successfuly under Win-OS2.

Roland's MPU-301 MIDI interface card is directly supported under OS/2.
