Sorry you can do it, atleast not without a very complex circuit.

What you can do is buy a PS1 or PS2 portable LCD and hook that up.

Ok so a little reading would have helped too!
Thanks for the reply Nerdz..

Now I just need to find someone who wants to trade for a ps one screen! LOL!

There was someone selling one for around 40 bucks. I dont know if they sold it or not.

You could (along with the LCD) go with a character LCD and use it with the parallel port.
