Reuse your old Palm as an external LCD display

Hack A Day found an interesting way to reuse your old, unused PDA for some good purpose. You could use its display as an LCD output for your PC or for some robotics project. All you need is the open-source software palmlorb which runs on any Palm OS device and makes your Palm emulate a Matrix Orbital LK204-25 LCD.

This is so cool! You can get an old m100 for next to nothing on ebay. I've been thinking about trying to hack together a car hard drive mp3 player. This would be a great read out...
