@ DaveC, Thank you for confirming the fuses, and clearing up my confusion about 16,8bit vs 3,4 wire SPI. For some reason I had it in my head both interfaces (parallel & SPI) were active at the same time. Now the truth table makes more sense. The code posted is wonderful! At this point I need to either get a 18F4550, or decide on using something I already have. I will more then likely go with the 4550, just to be consistent with this thread. Once I have the use of this under my belt, then I will venture out and use others.
Have you found uP speed to be an issue? I like to use internal OSC when I can, but this will limit me to 32mHz in most cases. I see you are running at 48.

@Norm, That does look like a great GLCD. and the price is right on too. I didn't notice, does it have touch?

My end goal for this is HMI use. I have lots of stuff here at the shop that would benefit greatly from this.

Off to order some 4550's. It will be a few days before I get them, so I won't be playing till then.

When I find the datasheet, I will post it (or the link) here.
