[lcd4linux] Silly question...or is it?

[Cuddles <cu...@fl...>]

Ok folks, I've finally given up on the Optrex panel (nearly a week of 
phone calls all over the world and I'm still no closer), and I'm getting 
a few HD44780 panels given to me.

Now for the silly question.. Is it possible to wire more than one panel 
together (yes, I have a good reason for this) on the same connector (in 
this case, the parallel port)? Yes, I know both panels would be 
displaying the exact same thing, that's what I want. :) Why? Well, one 
panel would be mounted on my system's case, and the other would be on a 
cable run into another room (sort of a "remote" status display).

So... Can it be done? Or is it a pipe dream?
