Dale,

While I haven't actually tried a BUSY bit read (I use a delay too), it seems
rather simple. The way I see it is:

RS=Low
R/W=High
E=Low -> High
Read Bit-7

No offense, but is that how you're doing it? If it is, and the LCD still goes
schitzo, then I'll work on this as a weekend project (teenagers have more
free-time than working adults <g>). If I figure it out, I'll be more than
happy to post the code!

Regards,

Tim Hamel
