I suspect the actual current rating and price would be a function of the size of the LCD we choose. The displays I'm talking of are typically 3"x0.75" graphics display units. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
