My #Amiga #A500 running my software makes the same sounds in the same order when powered on, when I really want it to be different each time. I seed based on `time()` but either libc from VBCC does not support it or the machine has no battery-backed real time clock or both.
Maybe I could use a #ParallelPort #sampler cartridge and hope its noise floor isn't too good? Allocate memory without clearing and hash it before using it (would that survive a cold boot?).
