    5c3 8
    HD44780A00

    I found out this was a Hitahci chip and I also did a quick google search on it and found this site
    http://www.piclist.com/techref/io/lcd/44780pc.htm

    But i still dont understand it, and it talks about using C to control it. SO what I am asking can anybody help me by tellin my how to wire this up so i can use comercialy available or freeware software to control it.

    That sounds like a standard parallel LCD.

    Check on this LCD FAQ for more information.
