I think they missed the bit about NetBSD, but here is what
Advanced Gravis Tech Support sent me. With this and the earlier
success story, I've placed my order. Also, I'm getting an
Evergreen 586 (Cyrix 5x86) CPU upgrade for a i486DX2-66, so I'll
post a report of how things work once I've tested them.

The PnP cards are Ultrasound compatible not Max compatible, and you 
are correct the Max software will not work on it. You should use the 
PnP software for the card.
