<title>The icp_a106 Driver</title>
<para>
This section talks about using LCDproc with LCD displays that use the
icp_a106 chipset.
This section talks about using LCDproc with the ICP A106 alarm/LCD board,
used in 19" rack cases by ICP.
</para>
<!-- 20x2 characters, serial connection -->
<para>
Both LCD and alarm functions are accessed via one serial port, using
separate commands. Unfortunately, the device runs at slow 1200bps and the
LCD does not allow user-defined characters, so the bargraphs do not look
very nice.
