Picked up a couple of units at the *right* price, the ones
made in China have a little connector that seems to provide
data, clock, gnd, hold lines, plus access to the + supply
voltage [1.5 Ag battery on this model].

Want to use as DRO on my little Sherline stuff [my eyes
don't really handle the handwheel engraving too well, 
particularly with my scritchy safety glasses on...]

Circuit Cellar INK / Computer Applications Journal published 
an article a year or so ago that interfaced to one of their
"hobby" class / quasi-proprietary microcontrollers.  Looks like
the same functions, but I'm not about to buy the mcu.  Anyone
done this to hook 2 or 3 such calipers to an LCD display? I do have
access to Motorola 68HC11 hardware [some to sell, actually] but
not about to climb the steep learning curve to do the prog myself.
Thanks in advance / Mark
