[TriEmbed] monster graphic VFD display very cheap

[Alex Davis]

Hey list:

Here's a HUGE Noritake GU256X128D-3900 for about $23 bucks plus
shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/122630823248

This is usually a $300-$400 display when new. It's basically the
ultimate in graphic VFD display.

Noritake usually has C/C++ driver examples for these things, but there's
a ready-made python library which will do all sorts of useful stuff:
http://pydisplay.sourceforge.net/

This would be an awful display for anything running on battery. But if
you want an expensive retro look for something like a media center, this
is the ticket.
