[Coco] So is this a G board?

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

I confirm that cutting C77 solves the issue Now it runs the sIDE without
any problem.

Even the game The Keys of the Wizard is working now, this games uses the
speech sound pak, could it be related ?

Now I need to fix the freaking colors and the Drivewire on it.

thxs,
