    Biggie wired one of these up a while ago but he wouldn't release pics of it, so I had tos ee for myself :)

    I really should have soldered straight on to the PCB - nightmare job (but my powers of soldering are strong ;)).

    This little cutie could fit anywhere, well almost :D

    Heh :) Umm the black rectangle to the right of the pic is a CF card head on...

    Size wise the display is 68.5cm by 10.7cm - nice and small, perfect of a floppy drive bay bus infact :)

    Looks to me like it has 4 LEDs positioned on it; 2 on the left, 2 on the right. Probably is do-able.
