Good day, everyone,
I am searching for untouched version of George Marsaglia's Diehard
CD-ROM. By "untouched" I mean bit-identical ISO copy of original CD-ROM
disc.
I planned to post my request on sci.crypt.random-numbers, but it has no activity.
More info, including photo of original disc is available at https://github.com/jeffThompson/DiehardCDROM

How do you plan to validate that what you /might/ eventually receive is
in fact bit-identical to said original? Do you have hash values for
the originals to use to verify "identical"?
I.e., gaming this out, an 'interested' attacker could create and post
you a cdrom that looks visually identical to the original in every way,
but does not in fact contain bit-identical data to an actual original.
Do note that "no postings" does not equate perfectly with "no readers".
There could be people who would read and respond, but only in reply to
a post.
