max 6954 and double P DB

BADHABIT

I just got a·dip·6954 to reduce pin consumption. When I was almost finished hooking it up and looking at where to hook up the digit select pins I noticed that they are different for each digit(duh right?) then looked at other pins at different digits and noticed they are different too.
I'm pretty sure that I can't use this chip w/the board, but would like a 2nd opinion.
I have a SSOP 6956, but I dont wanna·drive over to Fry's to get a board to solder it to. I'm pretty sure it's inevitable th0ugh.

If your board has all the digit segments wired in parallel then it's either cut traces and solder in jumpers or get another board.

anyone know which specific ic's the ppdb 16segs were designed for?

Drive to Fry's? You're on the west coast?

So, uh, does anyone have any suggestions for IC's that have the same functionality as the max6954 but is compatible w/the LED display on·PPDB?
