    If it's a Fast Flash?
    Are the LCDOUT statements running in a loop?

    If so, try using $FE,$80 instead of $FE,1

    I am going to try and add a third display. I will let you know how I make out. In your original sample code I had modofied it for three displays and it worked ok. I will give it a try.

    Hi Darrel!

    How long is that flat cable on the second LCD? It seems really long!

    That's impressive! About 8,5 meters! Lets see what wildbilly will do on the 40ft.
    Great code Darrel.
