[[SymbOS]] makes use of:
*the graphics cards based on the Yamaha V9990 graphics chip, released in 1991 [[Media:Yamaha v9990 datasheet.pdf|V9990 Datasheetdatasheet]] [[Media:Yamaha v9990.pdf|V9990 Application Manualapplication manual]] [https://youtu.be/plQf9_7zPSA Demonstration]*the MP3 hardware player soundcards, released in 2006 [[Media:Msx mp3 player specification.pdf|MP3 Player Specificationspecification]] [[Media:Vs1011e mp3 datasheet.pdf|VS1011 Datasheetdatasheet]] [https://youtu.be/3xEyNQA6Weg Demonstration]*the soundcards based on the Yamaha OPL4 sound chip, released in 1994 [[Media:Yamaha opl4 datasheet.pdf|OPL4 Datasheetdatasheet]] [[Media:Yamaha opl4.pdf|OPL4 Application Manualapplication manual]] [[Media:Yamaha yac513 datasheet.pdf|DAC Datasheetdatasheet]]
Notes:
* The OPL4 chip combines an 18-voice FM synthesizer (same as OPL3) and a 24-voice Wavetable synthesizer (like the 4-voice Amiga Paula chip or the 32-voice Gravis Ultrasound).
* Unlike the [[Willy|Willy OPL3 and Willy MIDI]] soundcards, the AMSDAP with an OPL4 soundcard can [https://youtu.be/kahDREIaOog play Amiga modules] and PC wavetable modules (S3M/XM/IT).
* And with the included YRW801 ROM chip and a software translation layer, the OPL4 can do Wavetable General MIDI. [[Media:Yrw801.pdf|YRW801 Wave ROM Datasheetdatasheet]]
Also interesting is a new MSX soundcard, the [https://www.msx.org/forum/msx-talk/hardware/vfm-virtual-full-music-msx-universal-audio-cartridge vFM (Virtual Full Music)] that emulates many soundchips (SSG, OPLL, OPL2/3/4, OPM, OPNA, SN76489, SAA1099, SCC) by using a [https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/ Teensy board]. It also includes a PCM (PCM5102A) chip and a MIDI (SAM2695) chip.
