I am working with a USB VFD. Its manufactured by Futaba, model number:
FV825GIN. The only manufacturer information I can find on it is contained
in a Japanese PDF linked here.
https://archive.org/download/Tjoimi0000000ule/tjoimi0000000ule.pdf

 It seems that it presents itself as a HID device to the system under the
name "Tatung Co." with USB ID 1460:0215.

Searching for this gives me very little information. This module has a
built in set of 4 buttons below it (for various media center functions).

More importantly lsusb -v -d 1460:0215 shows that in the iManufacturer line
"                   Starting Up  " which is what is displayed on the front
screen (I suspect stored in the onboard memory). But the iProduct line
shows "               UpStarting  ".

I have tried getting the mdm166a drivers working, but I suspect they won't
without modification for this display. Does anyone have any advice or
suggestions as to what to try? I can post whatever output you need.
