You call it 8x2
positions 0-7 are 0-7 on line#1

Isn't that what he was doing in his second program of the original post (between the two pictures)? I think it should have worked and the DDRAM address info in that first post supports this.

Maybe they have tinkered with the library behind our backs. As far as I can tell they have never addressed (pardon the pun) the fact that there are two distinctly different breeds of 16x1 displays.
