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?
