Yup. You need 7 IO lines, plus one more per segment, then write code to 
multiplex it. I've done it with an Oopic and it works fairly well, though it 
was just scrolling from 0001 to 9999 as a test. It always flickered a bit, 
but I blamed that on the fact that the Oopic is MUCH slower than the stamp. 
However, the stamp can't run VB or Java ;)
