Came up with a new piece of hardware today.
Looks like we have similar ideas(hooking displays to SAM I mean).
A couple of weeks ago I made a single resistor (or wire) mod to sams
parallel port
So A LCD compatible display can be added to SAMs parallel port with just
using a cable.

Instead of a LCD I used a 2x20 PLED display I had lying around for quite a
while.
PLED displays have better brightnes/contrast then LCD displays. But they are
a bit
harder to get because of a shortage.
Put together quickly with a bit of logic decoding and a microcontroller.
I guess you will be using the microcontroller to translate SAMs (latched)
Z80 Address/data bus
to readable output on thr display. Right ?
