bit7 Status 1 (0=Speech Busy, 1=Ready/Halted) (SBY Pin, Standby)

== Supported Games Software Support ===== Games ===
* [[3D Boxing]]
* [[3D Stunt Rider]]
* [[Roland in Space]]
* [[Tubaruba]]
=== Serious Software ===
* [[FutureOS]] (limited)
'''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?)
