via the standard 386 parallel lpt1 port. It should be relatively simple to
substitute tha "LCD" parallel port on the TS7200 with one more I/O bit
needed (probably the 9th bit of the "DIO" header - but remember this is a
3.3v pin), and then change the 386 in/out port stuff to suitable memory io
accesses - see the lcdmesg.c demo code for example stuff.

As I said can't see why this couldn't be made to work on the TS-72x0.
