Is there something besides "random" and "determinstic"

I have an ulterior motive for asking this question, but the motive is not important here. What is important is this: If a system is not determinstic, is it necessarily random? And if a system is not random, is it necessarily determinstic?

I know that there is chaos, but that's really determinism that gives the illusion of randomness.
