Thomas,
Check out Myke Predkos ( http://www.myke.com/engres/lcd.htm ) webpage.
He has an example of a 2-wire interface for an LCD using a 74LS174 shift
register. Sorce code and schematics are also given.
Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Steve

Hi!

How can you access a LCD with a 16c84 using as few i/o ports as possible. i
need as many ports for other things.

Hopefully someone can help me!

Yours sincerely
Thomas Thorsen
