Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: IBM OS/2 Internet Mail Client Support for Lotus Notes Content-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Precedence: bulk Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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?
