== Notes ==
 
Most of the time the main SEGA IC's are based on/renamed chips from other brands as follows:
 
 
*MD1 VA0, VA1, VA2, VA3, VA4, VA5, VA6, VA6.8
 
: Yamaha YM7101 / FC1001 = Sega 315-5313 / 315-5313A / 315-5313A-01
 
*MD1 VA7 & MD2 VA0, VA1, VA1.8, VA3
 
: Yamaha FC1004 = Sega 315-5487 / 315-5487-01 / 315-5487-10 / 315-5660 / 315-5660-02 / 315-5708 / 315-5708-01
 
*[[Sega Nomad]] & some MD2 VA3's
 
: Yamaha FF1004 = Sega 315-5700
 
*MD2 VA2, VA2.3
 
: Toshiba T9N13BF = Sega 315-5786
 
 
: Toshiba TC6158AF = ???
 
*MD2 VA4 & GEN3 VA1
 
: Yamaha FJ3002 = Sega 315-5960
 
*GEN3 VA2
 
: Yamaha FQ8007 = Sega 315-6123
