unfortunately there is no way for me to get any information on the RGB 
light strips because Electronic Goldmine deleted the reference to them 
after they sold out (to save disk space?) and they don't allow google or 
internet archive to cache their pages (the right to be forgotten?)

they are part number G20109A and they say konami on them, other than that 
we will have to manually look at them and figure out their pinout and data 
protocol to get them to light up.

the white ones work great, I will hook them up soon.  But i think they 
were on clearance because many of them have defective phosphor dots, which 
means that much of the ultraviolet light is coming out of some of them.

that's right, ultraviolet light.  from white LEDs.. that's how they work. 
You thought white was a color?  it's not.
