or as I said (and as I do) roll your own - the OneRNG uses a CDC interface 
stack, derived vaguely from some TI code, but I more commonly use an open 
source stack running on cheap atmel devices (A90U162s),  Arduinos shifted from 
FTDI chips to something similar (based on a branch from roughly the same 
source) a few years ago
