Strange. Very strange.

At least these signals are necessary:
DB0-DB7
I/OC1
I/OC2
EX
R/W
GND
VCC
Vref

which gives 15 pins. I could imagine that "shield" is not necessary (as 
its normally hardwired to GND).

Are you really shure it's a M50530? Are there other chips on your 
display? Maybe it's another microcontroller which has aonther interface 
with 14 pins, and controls the M50530 itself.

As a last resourt, you'd have to follow the signals on the print, and 
find out where the 14 pins end at the M50530. I know this is difficult 
(I've done this several times), but it's possible.

bye, Michael
