* ColecoVision, Sega SG-1000 and SC-3000 feature the same CPU (Zilog Z80A) and Video Display Processor (Texas Instruments TMS-9918 series) as MSX1 machines.
* 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.
