- Everything (CPU, SID, VIC, CIAs) depends on the system clock which is
- 17734472 / 18 = 985248 Hz on PAL and 14318181 / 14 = 1022727 Hz on NTSC.
- If the music routine does not check for the PAL/NTSC flag at address
- $02A6, the sound will be different.

- The mains in the EU has changed from 220/240 V to 230 V two years ago, I
- believe that it also was changed in the US from 110 V to 115 V.
