May I suggest a less expensive alternative to create the dual dice circuit would be to use an Atmel 2313 cpu to drive the two seven segment displays. All you'd need is the uC, the seven segment displays and current limiting resistors, a pull-up resistor and a spst switch, and your power source. You can program the 2313 using Bascom's AVR Basic, which you can get for free in 'limited' form, which programs up to 2K of code. I wrote a dice program for 2313 that lights up the segments in a circular pattern several times before it settles on a random number, giving the illusion of rolling dice. With the addition of a piezo-speaker I could add sound effects as well. Of course, if you were a PIC-head you could use a PIC cpu just as easily. Good luck.
