Hi Michael,
- Let's talk small LCD's!
I've got an apple emulator running on a PDA, It's about 2.75"
diagonal for the apple II display on there and I can still actually read it.

Of course, I look like a clown with the PDA right in my face, but I
can read it! :)
So I've already got a PS1 LCD coming - at least it'll be fun to mess
around with. Like I mentioned in an earlier reply to Sean, I think
I'm going to make it take the power from the //c somehow and hopefully
adapt it better to the //c case than it would out of the box.
If it sucks, at the price I paid it can go into the garbage gracefully!
Also, it's time I started hacking the hardware instead of just painting
the cases and adding dice and such! - LOL
Later,
Craig
