Yes, but i'm afraid i will take longer to get the serial comms working
than anything else ;-)
It would probably be easier for me to go with the next larger micro to get
those additional pins for parallel mode.
The idea of serial displays is a good one. Data volume is low, IO pins are
expensive and brains inside the micro is cheap, so it is obvious to go
serial. Having a converter might well be the most cost effective way since
the parallel displays are still so widely available.
