| 152531 | 2003-06-15 03:33:00 | I've obtained a few by getting (office class) electronic typewriters, pulling the LCD , and tossing the rest. Criminal really ... the typewriters cost k$ new . :D Canon ones have a standard 1x20 module. The new suplies in NZ seem to be either 2x40 or 4x20, maximum (this is because of the size of the RAM on the usual controller chip on the modules). And I don't like the cost. Oatley (http://www.oatleyelectronics.com/) might be a good place to try. They ar in Australia, advertise in Silicon Chip, and their prices look pretty good. |
