I have forgotten. Will an ISA device ( sound card ) tolerate overclocking well? My guess is it will not.

Usually not, but the last few boards that had ISA slots, along with most BX era boards, had ISA speeds that were essentially de-linked from the FSB.

I know that the SBAWE32 and SBAWE64 didn't have much problems with non-standard speeds.

I had a SBAWE64 and a USR X2/v90 fax both ISA running at 20mhz with np.
But I have seen some very simple things like a PCI LAN not working at 34, Lost alot of hair on that one.
