Related Chips
Yamaha used the YM2149F core to produce a whole family of music chips which were used in mobile phones, home computers, home and arcade video game systems, etc. For example, the YM2203 (also known as OPN) is a YM2149F plus FM. As well as its far more advanced successors: the YM2608 (also known as OPNA) which retained all previous features and greatly expanded upon those, the YM2612 (also known as OPN2) which was a cut-down YM2608 and removed many features including the YM2149F sound channels and I/O ports, and the YM2610 (OPNB) which added other features and retained the YM2149F sound but not the I/O ports.

“In the middle years of childhood, it is more important to keep alive and glowing the interest in finding out and to support this interest with skills and techniques related to the process of finding out than to specify any particular piece of subject matter as inviolate.”
