[Coco] Star Trek

[Benoit Bleau]

Could it be trying to read the Speech-sound cartridge?

>From the Speech-sound cartridge manual:
  You need only use 2 addresses to transfer data between the Color Computer
and the S/SC: hex FF7D (decimal 65405) and hex FF7E (decimal 65406). The
lower address is a software reset for the S/SC, which you may use to
reinitialize the entire cartridge if necessary by POKEing a 1 and then a 0
at that address. The upper address is the address you use to transfer data
to the S/SC.
