Hi there,
I got my wonderful Noritake 311 display from Coorz (thanks again man) and am having some problems getting it to work. I understand he's on holiday at the moment, so i thought i'd post here to see if you guys can help.
I'm using XP Service pack 2, and am trying to get said vfd to work with lcdinfo, but i'm having some problems. do i need to change any settings in the BIOS for the parallel port? should it be ECC, bi-directional, or what? do i need to change any DMA settings?
all i've been able to do so far is run the 311_test program, which works fine, and sometimes when playing around with lcdinfo have been able to get it to say "good bye!". i can't seem to be able to do much else. using lcdsmartie sometimes makes the first row of the vfd flash with random garbage, or the bottom left 'pixel' flash constantly.
has anybody got a solution to my most annoying problem?
thanks in advance,
madhatter
