The BWCT USB LCD module is also supported. It is not connected to an LPT port
but to an USB port, which saves you from a lot of potential problems.
To use it, set the connection type in the config file with the ConnectionType=
setting to "bwctusb" (without the quotes).
It does neithert support a keypad nor backlight switching but it supports setting
the display's contrast using the "Contrast" configuration parameter as well as
specifying which one (of multiple BWCT LCD devices) is wanted using the
"SerialNumber" configuration parameter.
