Interesting board, as odd RAM chips. This board did come with a SIMM adaptor that sits atop the MMU and has a shifter adaptor, but I've removed that for the purposes of the picture. You can see a jumper on there for the adaptor, I left this on so I know where it goes, and it isn't getting in the way.

I will attempt to get running with no other HW fitted before I try to use the Adaptor.

DMA is a -38 and FDC is a VL1772.

EDIT 06/01/2018. The board runs after removing the RAM add in and re-soldering the resistor that had been 'jumped' elsewhere.

indeed the stfm is an interesting board.
As for the ste only the post 91 ones had an ajax from factory, yours is too old (89-90).
Looking back, not far, it's a really early 91 (sixth week) before the revision when the blitter was integrated in another ic.
