These displays are pulled from units returned to the factory of a major device manufacturer.  (The don't want me advertising their name or logo.)  All units are tested for basic functionality before shipment, but they are in USED condition and are sold "AS IS".

A prototype breakout board has been successfully tested and will be available by the middle November.  Another breakout board is for sale as indicated in this Parallax Propeller User Forum Thread.  Note that my breakout board and drivers are for 6-bit color, the same as the Parallax VGA driver.  In fact, the driver is just a modification of the VGA driver.  However, a breakout board with all 24 color pins brought out is being sold by another forum member.

The ExpressPCB schematic and PCB layout for the prototype breakout board have been posted to the forum thread linked to above.  Note that an additional Vdd capacitor has been added to the final board for cases where long wires to the board may be used.
