I picked up a few more of the Micro 2700 terminals from Ben, and they're avaialble for free to anyone in Dorkbot who wants one (and is willing to carry it home from the meeting).

The wiring is pretty much like I described in the last entry... you need 3 control signals and the bus, which has 8 data lines and 16 address lines. I used SCK and MOSI to drive 3 shift register chips, so really this entire display interfaces with only 5 pins.
