Does anyone know of an ic or circuit that would allow me to use my parallel lcd over a usb port, short of using a microcontroller? I have recently built a large, complex circuit that works over usb, but I would much rather use an ic then the pic micro I have in it. I have thought of using a laptop usb->printer cable, but it is not very versatile.
Also, could someone give me a guide on making drivers for smartie? I know some vb, c and c++.

More on usb interface
I have discovered a velleman usb development board that is much simpler then my original, and it leaves space for 3 buttons to be added. I have bought one and am in the process of building it, I will report back with results when finished

How to use lcd
I have built the usb interface and it works perfectly. I have wired my 2x16 display up to it, though I cannot find information anywhere that tells me how to do anything with the screen. Most of the information tells me a specific value to output to the parallel port, and seeing as I'm not using a parallel port, it is very difficult. Where can I find some information on initializing and writing to an lcd?
