Timeline (and Gott Electronics) have a 480x128 dot graphic/alphanumeric
LCD display for about $20.  They both claim that it "comes with built-in
CMOS LCD driver and controller", yet Timeline offers a $60 driver board
for use with it!  What is going on?

Has anyone used a large graphics/alphanumeric LCD display?  I might
want to experiment with graphics once I get the text-only version
working.  Thanks again.
