DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!
Please make sure you are logged in for at least 2 hours
to make sure your IP is added into the firewall whitelist, thanks :)

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.
If i take too long to reply, sorry my cat is sleeping on my laps.
