Dwayne,

You reminded me of another possibility. I too have built my own LCD backpack in the past... just to see if I could do it. Commands were identical to LCDout except I would serout instead. Doesn't add too much to the cost of an assembly and is certainly cheaper than buying a serial LCD. Still its the thought thats nagging me that we should be able to cross the port boundary with the data pins on LCDout. Guess it needs to go in the wish-list column.
