I don't know if they do or not -- I just ordered a new CPU from Tandy
National parts and this is what I got.  It fixed it so I'm satisfied.
I also have a friend that tried using the Hitachi chip to cure the
sparklies and it didn't work.  It seems that these "fixes" are very
machine dependent, an Hitachi will fix it in one and not the other.
Mostly everyone that has replaced with Motorola 6809 with the AMI
version have had the problem cured.
