Yup. The LCD module uses a HD44780 compatible controller. The HD part is a Hitachi LCD controller, widely copied, that supports up to 40 characters x 2 lines. The 2nd line character RAM addresses start at 0x40, regardless of how many characters are actually used. There's a nice FAQ at http://www.mobydisk.com/winamp/lcdfaq.txt Colin f
