/* Chip Variants */
Yamaha produced the SSG (Software-controlled Sound Generator) chip family (YM2149F, YM3439, YMZ294, YMZ284, YMZ285) which is a quasi-clone of the PSG. The main difference is that the envelope counter on the PSG has 16 steps. On the SSG it has twice the steps, happening twice as fast. This chip equips the [[Atari ST]], [[Aleste 520EX]] and [https://www.msx.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2149 some MSX computers]. It is also used in the [[PlayCity]] expansion.

The EPSG (AY-3-8930), used in the Covox Sound Master soundcard on PCs, is a register-compatible evolution of the AY-3-8910:
