I have this board, and I think the Shifter and DMA labels are switched.
FYI

Yes it looks wrong.

Yeah, why would the Shifter be next to the WD1772? Makes no sense.

Take your ohm meter out and measure from pin 11 of the 1771 to pin 30 on the shifter and dma chip. When you get ~0 ohms that's the dma chip. The other device will have a significantly higher resistance reading.

I have the same motherboard in my Mega 2 and I keep wondering why U32 and U35 are not populated. Why bother having the sockets if these chips are not installed and why are these chips required on all other STs but not this one?

From factory ?! Assume someone removed them at some point ? Looks to be the 244 buffers ?

The machine still had the seal when I got it and the picture posted here shows the same sockets without the chips, so I suspect it's from Factory.
Moreover, the Mega ST 2 without this chips is still working perfectly :shock:

Ok, I should stay away from my beer pump for a while…. I opened the machine and the chips are there which makes much more sense. Sorry for the confusion. :headbang:
