Hi,
I've been experimenting with generating seed values for pseudo random generators. Currently I'm reading some registers from both the chipset and the cias (eleven bytes in total), and writing out the bits that change from read to read. Works great.
Now my question: Is there any point in using the registers DFF000 and DFF008 for this? After removing them, the resulting output of my seeder improved, however, I believe that with a different routine those two registers could still be made useful (the more entropy, the better, but user/os entropy is a separate issue).
Any thoughts? Any problems associated with reading those two 'early read' registers?
Any pointers are appreciated
