Kaleidoscope questions

[Thomas Harte]

I've recently acquired a Sam from eBay (correction to my earlier  
comments: not from Colin — that was a misunderstanding on my part of  
the actual seller's advert) and it was advertised as coming with a  
Kaleidoscope. My problem is that having identified which box must be  
the Kaleidoscope by deduction, the bundled software does absolutely  
nothing. So, questions:

1) should the Kaleidoscope be a box that contains four ICs (t74ls20b1,  
gd74ls374, gd74ls14, t74ls133b1), some resistors and capacitors and  
about half a board of empty space with gaps for other chips and stuff?

2) should the Kaleidoscope function correctly across a composite video  
output drawn from the Sam's scart port?

I'm actually really rubbish with circuity stuff, please forgive me if  
I've messed up my terminology or anything like that. What I think I  
know is from reading datasheets for programming information then  
skipping all the pin and signal stuff.
