Sorry, I hit 'send' too early :-(

I'm afraid not at the moment. I don't have such a thing. But if anybody
out there owns one, I could write a driver 'blindly', but I need a tester...

All Displays that support user-defined chars (there are only very few
that don't, and these do not support bars, too.

This device looks cool! (but it's a bit expensive)

If you wanna have an external display, USB is the best choice (because
the power supply is taken from USB, too).

There are some USB-to-HD44780 adapters, one is the USBLCD
(http://www.usblcd.de) but this company seems to be out of business.
Another one is BWCT (http://www.bwct.de/lcd.html) and Trefon
(http://www.trefon.de/)

I hope I did not forget one...


HTH, Michael
