I am thinking about writing a IO driver for the CALNET/NEWBRIDGE hardware
random number generator.

How can I determine if such a thing already exists?

The CALNET/NEWBRIDGE RNG is a very simple device. One inb instruction from
a certain port equals
one random byte.  (One complication: if you do not delay 40usec between
successive inb instructions, the
bits will not be independent.)

What are device driver tips?
