Hopefully, He is, afterall, coming from the same country as the device that this thing was salvaged from

Maybe there is standalone controller board with EPSON D13700's to buy for cases like this, it would made life a lots easier :-)
I'm presuming that the lack of controller requires constant refreshing of the screen, and i suspect taht would cut off quite a large bit of processing power from the arduino

But it would be quite cool to make use of this thing, honestly I just want to spit out huge amount of text data on this sucker for a PC status monitoring

EDIT:
Now, I'm thinking, maybe, just, maybe an idea...long time ago I remembered making a PC status LCD from HD44780 16x2 screen connected to parallel port of my pc...maybe it is possible to do similar thing and let the pc do the processing
