[comp.sys.atari.st] Atari sound

CATHRYN@bdt.UUCP (09/17/90)

I keep hearing the STE has enhanced sound, but I still don't know exactly what
has changed.  Did atari put in an AY 8930 instead of an 8910?  Are there more
than 3 voices now?  Or are the existing 3 voices divided among the left and
right channels?
Is digitized dma type sound the only change?

I didn't know there is an AY 8930 out there. What is it supposed to do better?
Ist it pin-compatible? Availability?

I think so.
