The bayrad Driver

Features

The BayRAD LCD modules are designed to fit into 5,25" drive bays. They contain an LCD display that is 20 characters wide and 2 lines high surrounded by 4 buttons labeled Menu, Select, +/Yes, and -/No.

BayRAD modules are connected to the PC using a serial RS232 connection getting operating power using the standard floppy drive power connector.

For more information see the BayRAD home page
