bit7 Status 1 (0=Speech Busy, 1=Ready/Halted) (SBY Pin, Standby)
bit6 Status 2 (0=Ready to Receive Data, 1=Busy) (/LRQ Pin, Load Request)
bit5-0 Not used (garbage, probably usually highzhigh)
Port FBEEh WRITE - SP0256-AL2 Allophone:
bit7-0 Allophone number
Port FAEEh WRITE - Accidently used in the included RSX driver cassette (the driver sets BC=FBEEh and executes OUTI, which pre-decrements B, so the OUT accidently goes to FAEEh) (it - the driver works despite of that bug since FBEEh is mirrored to that address).
* A new allophone number can be send when Status.Bit6=0.

'''Caution''' - Some webpages do (incorrectly) list further games: Gremlins (spanish version), Seablood and Robin of Sherwood (these contain code for using Port FBEC & FBEF for some kind of data transfer , possibly for [[PDS development system]] - but, not for speech). Also, Dragon Gold is listed as speech game (not sure why, it doesn't seem to use any special I/O ports; unless different versions of that game exist?)
