* These systems use the Texas Instruments SN76489 sound chip, which is closely related to the General Instruments AY-3-8910 Programmable Sound Generator (PSG) found in MSX1.
* The SV-318/328 computers use identical CPU, VDP, and PSG hardware to MSX1, with the SVI-BASIC by Microsoft being very similar to MSX-BASIC.

Spectravideo agreed with this, and ASCII started to make some small changes of the design. [https://www.samdal.com/svhistory.htm Source]
