I have a couple of child's toys that I'm sure use this chip. It's epoxied 
over on the board
but the way it sounds is exactly how you might think. Great way to annoy Mom 
(my
daughter's /and/ mine...) Big fun.

I've been meaning to try to tweak them a bit and get more variety out of the
effects, but I don't think it's a go.


Maybe even useful.
