Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Yes, that's really easy to do (i'm a real electronic noobs !!)
this is not exactly this display, but all the hd44780 compatibles are mostly the same
but as narfman said, just be carful to not feed it with full 9v :D !

anyway, this was easy but the keyboard issue is way over my skills :(
I should use my CZ as an expander for my master M-audio keyboard ;)
