The serialVFD-driver is working with NEC FIPC8367 based VFDs
and the "KD Rev 2.1" (an ATMEL AT90S.... based FM20X2KB-AB replacement).
It is also known to work on FUTABA VFDs.</para>

The driver should operate most of NEC, Futaba and Noritake 7x5 dot VFDs with
serial(rs232) and/or parallel interface. See the following table for testing-status.
