That is actually a good point. I just tried to pick it up in the
wayback machine and sadly it only saved the error page from Apache

IIRC I had only some example usages and some photos of the device
working with the driver, etc. The docs I wrote are in
Documentation/auxdisplay/ (in particular the wiring required for the

I will see in any case if I have it in my ancient backups :)
