 +The ks0073 controller chip has two sets of, very similar, instructions available.  They are selectable via the Extended Instruction control pin (IE).  In the VLGEM1021 modules this appears to be tied "low".  I assume that this pin is to allow the chip to emulate either of two previous LCD control chip implementations.
