Has anyone tested this with the "Yamaha Audician 32 plus" board?
They can be had new from eBay and use the YMF718-S chip - apparently they support MIDI via the gameport and are SB-Pro 2 compatible.

Just using it with a Sound Blaster 16 card on a Compaq 486, which definitely has an RTC. Shouldn't be any TSRs that would conflict, only have CTMOUSE and DOSKEY loaded.

Interesting, I haven't heard of that problem before.
Have a play with the ROM shadowing options in the BIOS. If you don't have any luck I can provide a patched version that bypasses the RTC check.

No, it will still use the RTC. Not really sure why the check is failing on your Compaq (could your copy of SoftMPU be corrupt?) but here's a patched version anyway.

Yes, Princess Maker 2 requires IRQ 2/9.
Companions of Xanth worked OK for me, but I only tested the non-talkie version.
