Thanks, but the design was a collaborative effort. The discussions on this list 
was, and continue to be, a great help.

I'm hoping the efforts can turn more towards entropy extraction now. I'm 
awaiting Benedikts unit with great anticipation. Looking more closely at what 
his circuit performs like will likely open up a new set of topics.

For example, it seems his (and others) circuit deliver around 20 kbit/s of 
entropy, while mine currently only delivers 4700 bits/s (extracted from 
130,000 edges/s - a lot of them thrown away to decrease correlation).
