Introduction
Dual screens are now almost common place in the gaming world due to graphics cards having two outputs; each screen having millions of pixels always doing exactly what you tell them. It’s strange to think that a display capable of displaying a mere 20x4 characters is so appealing.
The Display
Details from the XSPC site:
- HD44780 Controller
- Connects to PC Parallel port
- Power : 4pin Molex
- Cable length - 1.1m

On a side note, if you were wondering, the HD44780 controller is an industrial standard interface chip. There are many sites on the internet telling you on how you can interface with this chip. There are, fortunately, also lots of sites giving away free, open-source programs to run these displays.
