i believe that some years back there were one or two forum members doing almost exactly what you describe - they were using an MX170 an an I/O expander that accepted  text commands to control pin states, set up PWM signals, query switch states, etc.

i can't be 100% sure, but i also think some were doing the same for graphics commands to draw on an attached LCD screen - this was before the days of driving VGA or DVI.

Geoff and others who were around back then may remember better than me.


cheers,
