If anybody is still interested in this, I thought that I would mention that I have an USB Mx2 VFD display working on my G3 400 B&W, though under linux using LCDproc.
The short version is I installed Gentoo Linux on my G3 and then installed LCDproc. The long version is that it takes bloody ages to compile stuff on my old Mac!

I had a VFD display on my PC once but after I wired it up and tryed it in winamp it blew. Come to find out it was a cheapo that I over paid for off of ebay that blow out easily. A friend of mine has a 2x20 VFD dsplay on his system. I'll ask what model he has. I know the model he uses come in diffrent text columes and sizes.
