The mobo: http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/3282

I have a COAST module of unknown spec which I'd like to use in this mobo if possible.

The attachment coast module.jpg is no longer available

(They aren't broken traces on the left; just some gunk before it was cleaned properly.)

From the manual:

The attachment manual.png is no longer available

I've tried all combinations of JP1, 2, 7 & 8 to no effect.

The attachment settings.png is no longer available

Questions:
- What is Bank 0 at bottom left of the motherboard image? L3?
- How does that interact with a stick in SL1?
- Any other clues that could help me out, or just rule out using this module?

If I was gonna guess which board that module went in, I'd go with a 430FX, don't know how to describe the difference, but the FX ones look more like ISA I/O card chip packaging and PCB construction and the VX and TX ones look more like good PCI graphics card type packaging and construction.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

I'm smelling what you're stepping in, if you know what I mean. Lo and behold, the module was originally plugged into an FX board: http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/5956
