Default Futaba VFD 2x16 display

I would like to use this 2 line VFD in a VFO project ... can see it a
lot better than LCD. The part # is US1625D03B and it is a 5 volt part.
I have a 21 page manual from the Inet and am trying to drive it with a
PIC. This device uses a clock and data line and accepts 8 bit serial
transfer. Have had minimal success.... I can display several characters
on line 1 but when I try to send a stream of characters it starts a
crazy oscillation on the signal lines and the display goes bonkers. I
suspect the problem is timing and/or control character sequence. I
remember the terrible time we all had with LCD's till someone cracked
the control sequence mystery. I would appreciate any information or
code samples to get this dude working.

Thanks
