Front LCD

[Nitzan]

Hello,
 
Unfortunately those LCD programs support only LPT / COM connected devices
(as far as I know) Not the Built-In LCD displays of Dell's PE's.
 
I'm also interested of finding a program for my PE2650 Front LCD.
 
Thanks
Nitzan.

Hello John
 
Your question was clear.
Don't know how the LCD in a 2650 is controlled (don't own any) but maybe 
one of these projects has some hints or code you can use:
