It is essentially a serial-interface. The Nortake long datasheet
(16-pg version) describes the protocol.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hey list:
Here's a HUGE Noritake GU256X128D-3900 for about $23 bucks plus
shipping: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/122630823248">http://www.ebay.com/itm/122630823248</a>
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:

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.
