[sdiy] Sources for TI 2N76477

[Scott Gravenhorst]

Yeah, for $100.00, one could put together it's functional blocks
at MUCH higher quality.  I lost interest in these when I found 
out they had a very short LFSR noise generator from which you 
could hear the obvious repeat.  I've got two of them, unused.  
If anyone REALLY wants to pay me $200.00 for them...
