After a bit of googling, I discovered the Crystalfontz CFA-631. In terms of view area size, I'm a bit restricted as I only have a floppy bay in which to mount the display, and this one seems perfect for the job. I agree that reading it from a distance will probably be an issue, but it's better than no display at all IMO. > Maybe I will hijack this thread, can we make lcdproc > or Myth use the 2 line display as 1 big line?
