[sdiy] LCD datasheet required

[David Brown]

I haven't used one but it looks like a 2x8 connector.  My 2X40 LCD, 
and many I have used, have a 2X7 connector.  I'm guessing pins 1-14 
are (might be) the standard 14 pin interface and the last two pins 
are something else.  Pin 1 looks to be ground which corresponds to 
pin 1 of the standard 14 pin interface.

Typically, the backlight is the two pins on the opposite end, but 
might they have brought these to the other side for the extra two 
pins.  It always is a pain to use two cables.  Are there traces to 
the last two pins?

Just a guess, mind you.
