Sv: Re: [sdiy] 7 Segment Display Driver?

[Daniel Araya]

I sometimes use displays with built in binary to hex decoder and driver
like TIL311 or HP 5083-7240. The HP 5082-7300 even has a built in binary
to decimal decoder.
This type of old display are somewhat hard to find but when i find them
i often find a full tube for almost nothing.

Yeah, that would probably be the easiest, but unfortunately I don't
have a
PIC programmer or the knowledge to program one. :( So I was hoping to
do
this in olden-days-style, as I do have a soldering iron and the
knowledge to
use one. :) Not that I'm against PICs, but I don't plan on doing enough
of
them to invest in the equipment/skill.

Thanks for the lead on the 9368, looks like it's the answer for hex,
but has
been discontinued... The search continues...
