It is a ST7920 controller. I will try to hook it up tonight and see if Chinese characters or smoke comes out first.

Always wear safety glasses while programming.
I also got this module, soldered jumper for parallel connection and it works with PBP LCDOUT more or less. But there are some issues - most LCDOUT commands are not supported. Like moving cursor to 2nd line and so on. By guesswork, I've determined that, instead of
LCDOUT $FE, $C0
You should use LCDOUT $FE, 208
to get cursor at beginning of 2nd line.
Also, LCDOUT $FE, 27 or something, switches it to graphical mode.
But I'd like to use it's ability to have custom fonts and so on.
Anyone dug deeper?
