[simpits-tech] 5" TFT

[Mike Williams]

without ceeing one, I would say it uses an RCA connector for video, you
could use another pci card in your box with an svideo output, then use a
svideo to RCA cable to plug into it, I will use a dedicated pc over network
for MFD's when the time comes and 5" lcd's.
