A friend of mine many years ago told me about a similar trick on the Commodore 64. You turn the volume down, set the sound chip to be really noisy and then sample the output bits. He claimed it was genuinely random.

I wasn't really doing DOS PC stuff in the Tandy era, but IIRC, date+time clocks were not reliably up to date.
