Hi Dan
Seems like you are making a good start

>From memory Patricks lcd connector only supports crystalfontz lcd's

I have an LCD/VFD connector which uses Patricks xapax ocx and
supports Matrix Orbital, EscPOS VFD displays and Millford
Instruments.

Not released, only used by me, but I would welcome someone else
trying it out.

Email me off list if you are interested
