I don't.  In today's market you can't sell an ISA soundcard unless it
has a "Designed for Windows" logo, which means it must be certified by
Micro$oft.  The requirements for claiming compatibility with a generic
SoundBlaster are more stringent than those for a generic logical
device, and it's not worth the effort because you're always shipping
your own driver with the board anyway.  Analog Devices (my employer)
doesn't claim compatibility with a generic SBPro in our equivalent PnP
parts for exactly that reason.

I've never seen this particular card, so I probably can't help you
much, but I'd still like to know how it comes out.  If you send me
your changes to sb_isapnp.c I'll commit them, but they won't be
included in 1.3.

Requiescat in pace.
