The MM5837. A 17-stage feedback shift register. Cute little device. I
made a better one a few years ago, though: a 12C508 (8-pin) PIC program
for a 32-bit feedback shift register. It included a little delay routine
to alter to noise spectrum. Hm, with a 12C672, I could put a control
voltage in to set the noise clock rate..heh heh
