"Yes i did find the pin connections for connecting an 8255 to 16x1 or 16x2 LCD, but not for 20x2, which i wanted."

For your information what is valid for a 16x1 is equally valid for a 16x2 is equally valid for a 20x2. The difference is soft(ware).Reason why I told you that an LCD is chid's play ;-))

I defenitley need my INR 20.00
