I recall a similar device from Burroughs/Sperry, the DD700. It had BCD inputs and drove the segments. I found a pinout for an Ebay listing, and the DD700 also has programmable drive-strength. Perhaps a competitor device to the DS8880 ?
Certainly work trying. Even a $10 Raspberry Pi has enough GPIO pins to drive several digits -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
