Fair enough. I'll try hammering on a few sources I found on the web.

My current AIM-65 has two profiles of displays as it is. I would love
to at least get the brightness to match.

BG Micro has cheap displays. I have a few of various geometries here
already. They have a $20 20x2 VFD, but it's much larger than the display
in the AIM. It would be too big for the window in the cases I have.

The PD3000 is an off-the-shelf packaged item with its own command set.
There are several RS-232 VFD displays. The point of LCDproc is that
it supports a wide variety of hardware, so no matter what you scrounge,
it will work.

I also have a small box of PD3000 displays. Incentive to make it work.

OK Thanks.
