I got this when I set joystick I/O port on SB46 to 0x200. Changing "readport"
addr to 0x20B (in isapnp.conf file) solves this:

(READPORT 0x020B)
(ISOLATE)
(IDENTIFY *)

Then you need to add 2 IO addresses (IO 1 and IO 2 - the card doesn't show
them in pnpdump, but they are required for synth operation):

(CONFIGURE CTL00e4/372725497 (LD 2 # ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0620)) # 4 addresses
(IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
(ACT Y)))
