Thanks :D
Here is the schematic for the R.O.M. board.

That's some lovely work, GK - thanks for sharing!

Well, getting a little more serious now, this evening I removed the programming toggle switches, plugged a PIC16F874 into a bread board and wired it to the units programming port. A few quick test routines written for the '874 acting as the "remote" programmer and here is the result:
OK, I'm using a uC to program the display, but the character generator itself is 100% analogue and discrete digital logic (74HC' & 74HCT plus the SRAM).
Programming is completely asynchronous. You just put the data onto the 12-bit port and strobe the write pin. My simple discrete logic programming interface works flawlessly, transferring the asynchronously-received and latched data to the operating screen RAM during the blanking intervals without a glitch. Yahoo.

Fantastic stuff! A big thumbs up!
Greetings,
