Hi guys, Sorry Matt, I won't reply, but since it's about random, this reminds me something about generating a random seed.
PIC18F47J53 has a 12-bits ADC peripheral. Some channels aren't implemented in 28 pins variant (that is, 27J53). Datasheet says "Performing a conversion on unimplemented channels will return random values." That could be used to generate a seed... though it may not be possible to use this for all PICs.
