IICRC the 16V8 does not have buried registers so you
will lose the 4
of the output pins (for the counter) that you needed for the 7 segment
outputs
You can do it but you need to make a counter that counts in segment
patterns and not binary. I did see an example of this and remember
thinking how clever it was but a search of my files and online has
failed to turn up a copy.
