Interfacing is a lot easier today because of fpga and analyzers
When rainer was doing it his screen was broken so it was hard for him to analyze my screen works fine dead efoil but it works fine so im doing tests to see what the digital signals are doing as it does not use a standard 4 bit the 4th bit is the d7 8th bit address and it was this address that he was guessing at
All I need to know is what the data is on these lines and what information they send
Its also a lot like akai interface chips on the mpc range
The
screen is split into 2 halfs and why there are the 2 clock signals theres a 4bit address and theres cs and op and power 5v ground and -2v which is not needed
Today they make custom controllers so its just getting them to make a controller that can do the job for the signals applied ill also give them a working display the display schematics show all the connections I have some one looking into it and it will be a group buy so the cost can be spread then at least we can see the funding that way im not going to fund the whole project and be left with loads of screens

Amazing Emma, so VGA is a possible option, I'll have to read up on the MPC3000 Akai VGA card, there are a few posts on the MPC forum......is it likely that VGA is simpler to implement than the Group buy option of a new LCD or are they both are difficult as each other....wow thank-you, you are really throwing up some incredible knowledge, hats off to you, is the schematic you have, the one from the service manual?
