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?

Yes, that's the Kaleidoscope. It's a half built 'hardware development kit',
but in the standard mgt/samco interface box instead of a bare PCB.


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

Yes. The Kaleidoscope changes the red/green/blue voltage levels, which in
turn feed the MC1377 Composite Video generator. The subtle changes the
Kaleidoscope make will be seen no matter what video signal you use - RGB,
Comp. Vid or UHF.

Ooh, beaten to the punch and I was talking 50% bobbins - WoS has been 
updated with this snippet and a piccy.
