To drive an HD44780-based display over a parallel port, that's about right,
less if you've got cables and connectors and stuff lying around.

Some friends of mine and I are working on such a device. We are considering
various features like an LED bargraph, buttons and a pixel-addressable LCD.
Visit http://www.infinet.com/~erd/lcd/ and when something is likely to see
the light of day.

At some point here, I will post some code to that same web page for the 6502.
