You can also use it on 4-bit mode , this way you only need 6 Output pins to use it (if you're reading back data from the LCD's controller,you'll need 7 I/O pins)

Are both ST7066-0A or ST7066-0B available? If not, which model is?

Will I still be able to use this with the standard Arduino LCDLibrary? What about http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/LCD3wires, if I use a different chip (3.3v compatible)?
