MC14562B 128 bit static CMOS shift register

[Theo]

Not completly sure about this,
but I've just checked on some examples of other shiftregister noise makers.
They all have one thing in common: the shift register is a "prime" steps
long.
(eg. 31 steps and not 32)
Seems like the MC14562B does not match that criteria.

Hope this helps,

Cheers Theo
