I've got a slightly different situation over here.
I'm using a legacy 386 and have used insmell's icu and cassist
and creative flab's ctcu software.
I had everything working before my memory doubled from 4 megs to 8 megs.
After that, my dual 20mb bernoulli drives started using irq 5
even though they're set for pio rather than dma.
Naturally the silence blaster is fighting with the bernoulli drive and
both
are loosing that fight.  The thing is, all of the soundblaster
settings moved after that memory upgrade.  Because of the gui interface 
both bernoulli and soundblaster are useless until I can
get sighted help to fix this situation or at least try a few experiments
and debug this mess.  Have to remember to have the installer bring the
system up all the way and verify everything works before they leave.
