Thanks to Tim Knight for sending me the board.
Two RAMDAC on board, linked to a TIGA. Might this be the Bt459 for hi-color, and the Bt478 for MDA?
F1 and F2 are odd. They are two what looks to be solder pads that touch. Dunno, the idea of an exposed fusible link that might leak a little dot of solder onto the systemboard is unusual.

NNIOS, Number Nine's Intelligent Operating System Number Nine created our own graphics operating system called NNios™(Number Nine Intelligent Operating System). NNios was resolution, color and even processor independent. NNios was a unique innovation in graphics display programming, and offered developers assurance that a single driver would support multiple boards.
MDA uses the memory range B000-B7FF while the graphics mode display uses A000-AFFF for it's color plane buffer
The Number Nine Graphics Card and Windows 3.1 (This may not apply to the Pepper SGT)
If you use a Number Nine Graphics Card Model GX with Win 3.1, you should have the TIGA display driver installed.
Number Nine techl support recommends using the Windows TIGA display driver. You may also want to add an EMMExclude statement in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. This line should read as follows: EMMExclude=C000-CFFF
NOTE: You may need to upgrade your Number Nine Graphics card if problems occur when you run Windows version 3.1.
