+The vlsys_m428 driver handles the VFD/IR combination from VLSystem built into
+the case MonCaso 320 from the manufacturer Moneual. The driver functionality
+is rudimentary as it is derived from a reverse engineering from the Windows
+driver behaviour.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This driver writes only to the serial port, and it triggers no transmission
+activity of the combination. Thus, it cooperates with drivers reading only
+from the port. Other drivers are allowed to initialize the combination for
+IR operation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The vlsys_m428 driver assumes the character encoding ISO 8859-1.
+Note: The mapping from the character encoding to the display encoding is not complete;
+furthermore some characters are approximated by similar ones.
