3: RST                 20: DO

4: D1                   21: D2

5: D3                   22: D4

6: D5                   23: D6

7: D7                   24: D8

8: D9                   25: D10

9: D11                 26: D12

10: D13               27: D14

11: D15               28: GND

12: BL                 29: VDD

13: CDD              30: GND

14: GND              31: 5v

15: MI                  32: M0

16: PEN              33: NC

17: TCS              34: CLK

    Unfortianlly not. It was a screen from a Bitcoin Miner, although they never linked it to the Raspberry PI

    The pinout will need to be modified, but at least you have a starting point.

    You might want to research this, I think it is similar to what you posted, beware, it's not for the faint of heart image

    They swear it works with a ras pi, I found the info once, but I can't find it at the moment.

     

    There is an adapter card that can be purchased/built highlighted here

    http://ozzmaker.com/2013/05/23/raspberry-pi-with-a-3-2-tft-with-touch-control/

     

    But that requires additional hardware/work
