Hi,

Currently, I am trying to connect a 3X4 keypad and parallel LCD to 
BX-24, however there is insufficient I/O, namely:
3X4 keypad => 7 I/O
parallel => 6 I/O

Hence, would appreciate if someone could kindly advise the usage of 
BXRM RAMsandwich to reduce the I/O requirement as well as direct 
interfacing with LCD and keypad

Thanks for any kind input.

Well, my comments were quite some time ago.

The Ramsandwich is a board with 64K ram that connects to the BX-35, 
NOT the BX-24 and requires a development board in order to do so.  
The BX-35 is similar, but a somewhat more obscure cousin.  It has 
different limitations.

I suspect that you don't really want to go that far afield to get 
your BX-24 working.  I am not even sure that the BX-35, the 
development board, and the Ramsandwich are still available.

You might look into an SPI or One-wire adapter for an LCD interface. 
Another alternative is NetMedia's Serial LCD which is meant to 
resolve such problems.  A third alternative is to output to a shift 
register via two wires, then send it to the LCD in parallel via a 
third wire.

You can connect a 2x4 kepad with only 1 I/O. See my earlier email a 
about 2 months ago.

Umm, I made an error.  The Ramsandwich is used with the BX-01, not the 
BX-35.

And you can still buy both along with the development board and the 
RAMsandwich.
