My logic monitor idea can't possibly virtualize a LCD: most people's LCD
code asserts the E signal for only a few cycles, the monitor would almost=

certainly miss it.

I guess it wasn't very clear in the original documents, but my design doe=

effectively include a connector for a LCD: you simply plug it into the
breadboard in a designated space.  There will be 14 consecutive pins on t=

breadboard connection that correspond to the standard LCD pinout: probabl=

PortB for the data pins, some PortA pins for the control signals, the
potentiometer wiper for contrast, and power pins in the appropriate place=

All that is required is that the LCD be the type with a single-row
connector, not the dual-row which seems somewhat more common.
