 Speeaking of which, I found an interesting Intersil
board at a vermin
market (cheezier than a flea market) the other day.  The silk screen mask
on the board says "ICM 7235/36 EV/KIT".  It has a 40-pin socket (empty)
and two 14-pin sockets (empty) and a glass-enclosed LCD display that has
the following format: 188:8.8 (so in other words it has one digit with
only two segments, then 4 digits with all 7 segments and a colon and
period).  I can't figure out what the display would be used for.  It has
an edge connector for whatever purpose.  Anyone know what this is?  I wish
I had a damn digital camera already so I could get a picture of this to
 An Intersil 7235 is a 4 digit vacuum fluorescent driver chip, 40 pins. Input
= mux. BCD/hex data.
A 7236 is a 4 1/2 digit counter with a vacuum fluorescent driver like the 7235.
Interesting that they have a common eval. board, my old Intersil cat. just
says an evaluation kit is available for each one (separate numbers).
