Doesn't look like it. The BASIC09 Reference manual says:
RND(number)
[...]
If number =0 then range = 0 to 1
If number>0 then range = 0 to number
[...]
....are not truly random but occur in a predictable sequence. Specifying a number less than 0 begins the sequence over.

Bleah.
Either do (math(timer )) calls or write a better RND() as a subroutine module.
