    But I think the LCD is wired backwards. I do not have the data sheet for that one, but isn't pin 14 over by the mounting hole?

    Holy Crap!!! Actually, I checked my stash of LCDs. 3 of them have pin 14 by the hole, 1 has pin 1 by the hole...
    So I don't think you're full of it...

    Great, after some googling I realized that there are datasheets of very similar displays, and SOME have pin 1 at the edge, and some have pin 14 Doh..

    The one that I had printed says it is like I wired it up on the breadboard, therefore I assumed that I followed this when I builded the parport displays, but now I better disassemble one and see how I really connected it.
