So, while it might be theoretically possible to *include* a PIC or something like that in a driver board (assuming you can find one to run past the needed 20 MHz pixel clock), you'd have to bolt so much extra circuitry on to it that you might as well just start from scratch and pick your favorite microcontroller chip. - Edward Keyes-- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to
