Looks like I'm going to make up an RS-232 connector and communicate with the 'lil board that way. With any luck, I'll have RS-232 and keyboard working tonight. ---- August 5, 2004, 12:25am PST: Wired up what might just be the world's ugliest RS-232 cable. Pics to follow. ---- August 22, 2004, 11:30am PST: Acquired my 20x4 Backlit LCD display. It's HD44780 compatible, and has a greenish backlight. Nice and cheap too! This is the ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26206&item=3835083710&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW And this is the spec sheet: http://www.phanderson.com/ebay/truly_lcd.pdf Total cost was $17usd shipped to my door.
