I never saw sparkles at all. Back in the early 90's Someone came upon princeton 
server and offered GIME chips. I bought three for good measures. Also bought the 
salt and dac IC's from RS. Just to have a few spares. I don't use it much but I do 
have a project for it in mind now. Hope to get the first part working after the first of 
the year.
