I think I'm finally going to break down and get a serial LCD. I'm looking at the 632 and the 634. I have a few questions about them.
1. How would one connect 2 rheostats to the 632 or 634 to control the contrast and brightness?
2. Does the third party lcd driver software have software control for the contrast and brightness? I see that the Crystalfontz software does but it is not compatible with the lastest version of Motherboard Monitor 5.1.9.1.
3. Does the 634 have keypad control? I was looking at the matrix orbital 4 X 20 with keypad control, but they want $75 for it. That wouldn't be so bad if they weren't charging $15.50 for shipping and handling, what's the deal with that?
4. Any one know of a place online to purchase a DB9F/DB9F serial cable similar to the matrix obital ones. That is, a flat ribben unshield cable that will fit through the opening for a PCI slot.
You help would be great.
