=46rom the DX list...

Any standard display 40 x 2 compatible with HD44780 controller will work. Ju=
st check the size and thickness. I forgot if there=E2=80=99s a space for thi=
cker display with LED backlight...

Yamaha dialect in the schematics:

- Pin 4 is described as MA0 - but it is standard RS (Register Select)

- Data pins 7 - 14 are described as PD

- +5 V is pin 2

There are also mistakes:

- Pin number under C1-4 should be C1-2, not C1-7
=20
- Pin number C1-8 is there two times, one is connected to the ground.=20

- There=E2=80=99s another pin without number connected to the ground=E2=80=A6=
