   Guillemot doesn't provide drivers for Linux (as far as I know), but you
can use the ALSA (or OSS) driver for the audiodrive18xx chip with the MaxiSound
series of soundcards (I don't have info about the ISIS cards). You will need
to load the firmware to the soundcard before using the driver, but that
could be done under linux (drop me note by personal mail if you need help
with this point, it whould be off-topic in this list).

   There is also an OSS-Compatible driver for the SAM9407 DSP which also
works with these cards, you can get it at http://www.anime.net/~sam9407/

  I'm also developing a driver for the maxisound, which I expect to release
shortly.

   You can get info about the IC used in these cards,that would suffice to
write a driver.

   The info about the ES1868 IC (the codec used in these soundcards) can be
found at <ftp://ftp.esstech.com.tw/> look for the file DS1868B.PDF

  You can find info about programming the SAM9407 (the DSP) firmware at
<http://www.anime.net/~goemon/linux-sam9407/>
  
  
 Hope this helps
 
 Paco.
