Recommended 98SE drivers for CT4810/CT2518-DAQ?

I got a card dubbed CT4810 with the main chip CT2518-DAQ. I'm not sure what it actually is. Looking around it looks like it could be Ensoniq (but maybe not because there's no ES*), SB PCI 64, PCI 128, Vibra.

Does anyone know what exactly it is and what would be the recommended drivers for Win98SE?

The closest bet at Creative's was SBPCI_WebDrvsV5_12_01.exe, which I installed and ultimately appears to work, but the extended install process was somewhat unsettling.

Besides Windows asking me 2-3 times whether I wanted to replace some files with an older version (which I didn't think was a problem. Could've been due to already having installed DirectX9 or some IE6SP1 updates), strange stuff happened after restarting.

The first restart got stuck before the GUI even appeared. On a second (logged) restart I got an error about some invalid VxD call and a suggestion to reinstall Windows. I boot to safe mode, removed the sound driver, restarted normally and it seemed okay, sound included.
