I have a DVORAK keyboard layout but when I start SI it doesn't recognize it, and it registers the keys as in qwerty keyboard. Any thoughts or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

You need to manually patch the keyboard tables inside the winICE executible - Using a hex editor of your choice, locate the "SIWK" header towards the end of the file ; it follows 4 arrays of bytes IIRC, each one indexed by the key scancode (0 to 58h), giving the ASCII translation for the key. First table for unshifted, then shift+key, ctrl+key, alt+key. In those tables, values greater than 80h are NOT ASCII codes, rather they refer to SICE functions, better leave those alone. The other ones - plain ascii chars - you may modify according to your keyboard layout. I did exactly this for my French kb. So good luck !

When you're thru you might want to allso patch the kb tables inside the serial (serial32) executibles. They follow more or less the same layout.
