[rescue] POS Serial Display's

[erie]

It has a futaba something202something vfd in it, I'll look at the one I 
have and check. I had a bookmark to the
pinout, I'll do some digging and see if I can find it, with the standard 
xtal in it, it uses an oddball baud rate, there is
a mod to xhange the xtal that will allow standard baud rates.
