I did some further research on them and these Optrex LCDs have an LED
backlight, are 160 x 128 can be run in graphics mode, character mode, or
both, and run through an 8 bit I/o port. I'm going to hack together a
68HC11 to drive it (and give me a serial interface) so that I can do
both graphics and curses type displays. I'm pretty excited. I went back
on Saturday and they were all gone (doh!) So I've only go the two.
