I soldered myself an XM1541 cable and used it to transfer C64 files to disk with StarCommander. After a while I played BlackThorne, and the SFX were mostly screeching sounds. And I didn't have music on my sound blaster, and sounds were as well screeching in BlackThorne. I noticed that I had left my LPT port on the same IRQ as the UltraSound in the bios. I have flashed my bios to a newer version, installed another sound blaster, reinstalled windows. The screeches are gone now but I still don't have music during the intro scene of BlackThorne (strangely, ingame music works), and I don't have sound on my sound blaster other than voices. Perhaps it's just still some faulty IRQ or DMA setting (PNP stuff? it's a BX440 based mobo) but I got a bad feeling about it. 😒 (and ordered a ZoomFloppy)
