        Re:  Hi , if you need a dot matrix display you can try with the
POWERTIP line,
        I'm using it in a 16C63 based project and it works quite well,
also it is
        very easy to use.
        Now I can't remember the web sites names where you can find
useful information
        about them but if you type "powertip" in a good search engine
you will find them.
