#124129 - National Semiconductor once made these Responding to: ???'s previous message  | 
I can't put my hand on the appropriate databook right now, but, back in the '70's, NSC sold an IC containing a "noisy diode" and an amplifier, the purpose of which was to serve as a random number generator.  Properly applied, this provided a random binary value.  If you poke around on their site, you may, in fact, find details on this device.
