    What's to tell, Bill? Buy a laptop hard drive, or an Ipod, and there's a
    flyspeck on a circuit board that tells it acceleration in at least one axis,
    sometimes all three. The solid state gyros I know less about, last time I heard
    that stuff was still heavily classified (at least on the cutting edge) because
    the customers tend to have big budgets and big toys. You can find the commercial
    stuff online, and figure the classified stuff is at least ten years beyond what
    you can find.
