#141611 - maybe
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I said:
Steve's answer requires least work in the 8051, but needs extra hardware (the MAX7221)

Steve M. Taylor said:
...and least external hardware: one 7221 against 3 ls47s

But I said the LS74s were a bad idea anyhow!

Depending on the chosen displays and 8051-derivate, it could be possible to connect the displays direct to port pins - so that would require no additional hardware!
