No. The ancient IBM drivers, and the early Multimac drivers 
(E1000B, etc.) are no longer supported (they may still work, 
depending on the hardware, but they have been replaced for a 
reason). They were replaced by the later Multimac drivers 
(MMLEM, etc. based on BSD drivers). Only the later Multimac 
drivers (BSD) are supported (if you have a valid Arca Noae 
software subscription). There are a few other differences. 
Depending on the system capabilities, they *may* use the MSI 
interrupt method (requires a recent version of ACPI), which takes 
some of the load off of the interrupt hardware (which is already 
being done by software, in a VM). A few other device drivers *may* 
use the MSI interrupt method too.

It all fits together, and trying to eliminate parts of it can cause 
unexpected problems. I suggest putting it together as the Arca 
Noae installer builds it, and don't change that, unless you are very 
familiar with the internal operation of modern OS/2.
