Hi all,

Tinkering with a 40x4 LCD.  Haven't found a full datasheet yet, but =20
this is the physical data...
http://www.winstar.com.tw/products_detail_ov.php?lang=3Den&ProID=3D41

With the two enable pins and the repeated addressing of the character =20
positions, I suspect it's just laid out two 40x2 LCDs in one.  And I'm =20
fairly sure I've heard this before somewhere.

However, I have doubts on the pinout.  The pins are labeled in reverse =20
order (compared to the 16x2, 20x2), but comparing pin positions, =20
almost all lines (DB0-7, R/W, Rs, Vo) are in the same position, but =20
the Vdd & Gnd lines are reversed.  Is this correct?  Or could it be a =20
datasheet error?  I want to be sure before I fry this thing.

Cheers,
-Neil.
