I can have HD44780 LCD adapter board kits (http://http://dangerousprototypes.com/2009/08/13/bus-pirate-hd44780-character-lcd-adapter/) made at Seeed Studio (http://http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/) for $15 each, including worldwide shipping. I might be able to get a combined discount on this and the 3EEPROM explorer board (http://http://dangerousprototypes.com/2009/07/30/prototype-bus-pirate-3eeprom-explorer-board/).
If there's no interest now, I might still organize a few kits when the Bus Pirate v3 preorder (http://http://whereisian.com/forum/index.php?topic=31.0) starts.

Sorry, I had to setup this post for the article, which won't be published until Thursday afternoon US time.
There's an HD44780 character LCD mode for the Bus Pirate, it requires a PFC8574 expander IC. There's an open source adapter board in the Bus Pirate SVN, I'm running an article with demo and documentation later today.
I'd like to add a KS0108B mode eventually, but the pinouts don't seem to be as consistent as the standard character LCDs.
