> I discovered a carton of Toshiba InTouch modules in the garage--these are USB devices that are basically an LCD display with a bunch of buttons, a volume control and an IR sensor on two boards in a plastic case that was supposed to fit under the monitor of the Infinia.  I don't have Windows drivers for the things, so they're pretty useless as-is, but they've got a nice Toshiba 5343DGYTN  LCD display board in them.  I have the pinout of the display board and how to drive it from a PC parallel port (the controller is an OKI M5260).  The USB part of the board is all SMT with an Intel USB controller (basically an 8051 with USB support on it); code seems to be in a 27C256  OTP PROM...shrug.  All in original shrink-wrap boxes.  If anyone wants one, I'll let them go for my cost--$5 each + whatever it costs to mail.  The flotsam keeps washing up on the beach and I'm just trying to keep it out of the landfill or from poisoning some Chinese peasant.

I'll have one.  Do you take paypal (and let's not have that big long 
discussion again. If you fancy working out how to pay someone $5 from 
the UK, I'd love to hear about it.)
