Re: [oopic] Re: NC2004A LCD Screen with Modtronix LCD2S daughter board

Richard,

The parallel LCD is significantly faster since you can the .String
attribute. The newer compiler and firmware makes the LCD object much
more robust too. The V.5 compiler will have intermittent problems with
missing characters in the LCD object when writing to the LCD. V.6
corrected them and the C.1 firmware made it even better.
