I've just obtained a few vacuum fluorescent displays(VFDs) from a surplus dealer and am looking at interfacing them to the PIC. The part no. is Futaba 4-LT-105Z. It is a timer(88:88) display which seems to have been made for an oven. What's the best way of driving them from a PIC 16C84? I haven't used VFDs for a while now and any pointers to resources on VFDs in general would be great.
