I've got 2 great working 720 board sets (2 CPUs and 2 Video boards) that have different tempos for the music. On one of the CPUs, when running the first 6502 processor self-test, when the sound/tones bounce back and forth from left to right speaker, the last 3 pairs of tones (tones 11-16) speed up in tempo. Whereas on my other CPU, the tempo remains at the slower tempo of the first 5 pairs of tones (tones 1-10).
The differences between sounds and music during gameplay are that the music plays at a fast tempo on one CPU (the one where the tones do speed up during self-tests), and a slow tempo on the other. This also makes the "pop up sounds" of the medals being awarded after events go slowly as well. However, the sounds and music are not "behind" the gameplay. What I mean is, on the slower tempo board, when the medals are awarded after an event, though the sounds are slower, the music does change with the game screens (there is no lag of sounds from previous screens).
Other than that, all other tests, and all gameplay on the board sets are identical. Also, I've done all combinations of both of my CPUs and Video boards, and it does all depend on the CPU boards, and not the Video boards.
While it's not what I consider a "problem," I am curious if anyone has ever heard of anything like this.
