Hi There First off I don't have PNP I have an regular Sb16 Card and it works
great with OS/2 I have bought many of cheaper cards in my day before 
realizing 
the best cards to buy where Sound Blaster Cards any Card that is they will 
all 
work with OS2 with no problems the cheaper one's on the other hand are a pain 
in the neck to get working. I know from spending hours and hours trying to 
et
my system working properly, the best thing about OS2 is all you have to do is 
install a SB Card and reboot the system will then detect the Card.
