The A-149-2 outputs are binary:
"The outputs are controlled by the "Quantized Random Voltages" section
of the assigned A-149-1 and correspond to the 8 digital outputs of the
shift register that is used to generate the Quantized Random Voltages"
A-149-1 and especially A-149-2 are distintively pseudo-random:

I don't remember anymore. I don't think so.

Not the binary outputs.

Possibly. I didn't like A-149-2.
