Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] Writing new driver

[Harry M. <ha...@ma...>]

Wow - thanks for the quick response.

When I wrote the mail I didn't notice it was to a mailing list and am now embarrassed at having pretty much written:-

'Hey - I want to write a driver - tell me what to do' :)

Anyway - the LCD is driven from the serial port. There is only windows (well DOS) support atm - I have a tech spec sheet so I will dive in and see where I end up :)

Thanks again

Harry
