[my first send bounced so I am resending]
Here is some code to run on a SparcStaion (I or II) to generate random
numbers based on noise from the audio chip. I have not tested the true
randomness of the out but cause I don't know how. Thus if anyone can
please do and send me the results. I suppose some minor tweeking can be
made for the mid range gain for a better spread.
unfortunatly there is no way to turn off the u-law audio compression
the chip uses to outputs data if you plot the out put you will see the
problem the compression caused.
