A4μ7 = 4.7 microfarad C1μ0 = 1 microfarad A and C is the case type.

For your information, the original Sharp Panel used on the Amstrad ACL-386SX laptop, have the below monitor interface. Now I suppose that you know where to connect the "data enable" signal. :)

I want to buy 1 piece from this ic as a replacement of a partially damaged. (Defect in parallel port.) Thank you.
