[sdiy] Digital noise sources

[Tom Arnold]

Something else I've been pondering.

I noticed in Tom Wiltshire's noise generator PIC that he preloads the shift
registers with some random data.  I'm curious about something though...  In
a "normal" logic based noise source, are we depending on the power-on state
of the shift register to be random, or are we just loading it from 0 with
the pattern generated from the XOR's?
