Mega Multi IO Shield for Arduino Mega / DUE

Is this compatible with the Arduino Giga? If so, what are the pin locations for each zone if using the Giga? https://docs.arduino.cc/resources/pinouts/ABX00063-full-pinout.pdf

My goal is to add this: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1060.html and this: https://www.mikroe.com/click-shield-for-arduino-uno on the expansion shield but this microSD https://www.mikroe.com/microsd-click needs to be exposed to SPI pins. I was hoping to use the stepper motor driver shield's exposed analog and PWM pins but I don't think the Giga's pins line up for this.
