Ahh not so . . the hitachi chip does display data the same regardless of who's backpack drives it, assuming the data doesnt get filtered first. The problem here is everyone who sells one of these has his/her own little initialization routines and that's what will trip me up, if I code for Anderson's unit and my customer finds a better deal on Seetron's display, now I get a nasty phone call. .I always try to put the fire out before it is lit. The best way to do that is control the code.
Thank You for your input (everyone!) and anyone who wants to ring in an opinion on this, I think that would be super. Im trying to get around the 8 track / vs cassette , vhs vs beta, why won't my Chevy wheels fit a Ford Scenerio. I can go buy basicly anybodys video card and put in my Computer p/c or mac, so I think the way to workable standards is through the public domain. My Opinion, for better or worse.
