Hello All.
I am having a bit of a problem with an LCD and 14M. I can't get them to work together.
Simple code. Increment W1 by 1, send to LCD and loop. I changed CALIBFREQ from -5 to 9. The backlight ON command worked at positive values of CALIBFREQ but I only get odd characters on the screen. I also used the exact code (changing PICAXE directive to 08M) with an 08M and it worked. I used 2 other 14Ms, did not work. All 3 14Ms have 9.B firmware. Serout pin is Out 0 with 08M and 14M. Another hint: I first used output 1 on the 14M and got an error stating that I could only use SEROUT on OUT 0(serout pin). I have used SEROUT to an LCD with an 08M on other output pins without a problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

LCD is PARALLAX serial 2X16
