Hi Brian

I believe that it should not be that complicated and there wouldnt be =
too much adc/dac conversion, plus with a microcontroller (I'm thinking =
some Atmel perhaps) the Kopin 320 grey=20
can maybe become a colour display with a proper back light (basically =
r/g/b LED controlled by the chip) in stage two (after stage one actually =
gets the greyscale image displayed)

Essentially it boils down to programming the proper timing for the =
microcontroller to convert the signals properly, while the input at the =
stage could possibly be RGB or Composite
depending on the supporting circuitry infront of the controller.

thanks

think you gotta define "generic" in the microcontroller biz lol

    Is anyone working on connecting the Kopin 320 displays (that =
everyone and their grandmother got by now)
    to a generic microcontroller rather than begging Motorola for =
samples of their chip?
