I'd like to attach a 7 segment LED or an alphanumeric display to
an AT (an industrial AT computer).  
(The computer does not have a keyboard or monitor - other than
the 2 charcter min. display I want.)
In short, I'd like to display at least two characters.

I know where to buy displays (such as Jameco), 
but how to connect a display
to the computer is my problem.  (I can handle minor electrical
matters, but I am not an electrical engineer and cannot
design circuits.)

I cannot be the first person to need this.  Does anyone know of
a complete unit I can buy, such as one that
attaches to the parallel port?  Thank you.
