This might be the reason why SBGET finds the SB card (at port 220h), but Keen sound doesn't work because the Adlib port is 38xh.

I didn't notice any.

It's not annoying enough to invest time. I also tried setting "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib", which improves keyboard handling a lot, but OTOH has problems with the screen update (at least in text mode emulation). Regrettably there is no option to tell SDL to use DirectX for output and "WinDib" for input.
