Would you have 10-12 DL1416s? That would give me
enough for two
display boards and a spare or two for the future.

Hmm.. probably not. I do have about a dozen, but I might need some of
them for my AIMs if & when I finally get around to looking at them.
Also, I doubt that there are even five matching ones; some are Siemens
and some are Litronix/NSL, with different profiles, and they are also
various brightness codes. But if you need a replacement or two I could
probably help out.
But from the other perspective, what were you planning to use? And
do you know of a source for a cheap 1x20 parallel VF or LCD display?
Lots of 2&4x20s; guess one of those would do...

Right now, my "spare" time is all focused on
displays anyway - the
LCDProc project (http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/) is closing in on
a new point release and I'm trying to debug a development environment
to be able to add support for some new display hardware (PD3000 "pole
displays" like you see attached to cash registers/tills).

Looks like there are a few of these display/monitor projects out there;
what's so different about the PD3000? Aren't they all RS-232?
I'll be in touch off-list when I know more.
