are they in the planning phase?

Yea, that in a VFD would be real nice!

I was wondering, since LCDC is made to specifically run your displays, you guys could probably pack alot more nifty features into the new display roms and i;m sure Matt would easily include them into LCDC. Features such as internal line scrolling functions, maybe more room for more custom characters...

Here is what I think you should get, because its what I decided on since I am doing the same thing. Get a VFD with Wide Voltage and Wide Temp. VFDs are great even when viewed at an angle. The black background also make it able to be read when its dark, or in sunlight. Get a nice outdoor filter for t...

Yea Henery, do you have any more VFD Models comming out? I would especially like to see models with 12vdc GPOs and Keypad interfaces.

Thanx for the info. You rule man!

Oh, Also i noticed on some of the pages where you have dropped the price on some models the price listed in the description is still the old price.

Yea, i was thinking about using DOS because it would boot really quickly, but i went with me, the faster booting member of the 9x family. I wouldn't be able to get all the keypad and lcd stuff working right in DOS.

nope, thats software controlled also!

holy crap, thats almost exactly what i was looking to do... are they available yet?

how do you setup just push-button switches? where the pins are layed out on the PCB is it like each set of 2pins are one switch?

Yea, thats why i got the wide voltage one.. just incase disaster strikes. : )

I have a similar question, I want to setup a little mp3 box with the shuttle sv24 mini box and an lcd to show winamp stuff. I want to be able to control winamp via the lcd though. I know some come with keypad options, and some it say it works with an at keyboard, but what does that all mean? Is ther...

Is it possible we may see some graphic VFDs sometime in our future?

ok, cool. thanx for the info. I guess it could be because the internal port doubles as an ir header if you set it up as such in the bios and it sends some commands at power up.
