  Got given a couple of "Dyna 5" BA23-size
QBUS enclosures a bit ago -
 a bit tatty (rusted & dirty, must try to get a sandblaster or
 something to see if they can be rescued)
 just looking through the cards, can't ID this one yet :

 dual height QBUS
 Baydel (http://www.baydel.com) logo on the handles, "Baydel ltd" "CCK
 2789" "B01079 iss4 C1984 CTS-11" on the board.

  Any ideas? Didn't turn anything usefull up on
Google, I've emailed
 Baydel support for a laugh... 
Baydel were (are?) latterly quite well known for RAID systems; prior to
that they made (amongst other things) QBus floppy controllers, to
connect to SA800/850 drives.  I have a couple of single-density ones
that emulate an RXV11 or a pair of RXV11s.  I'd guess this board is an
emulation of an RXV21, to connect to SA800/850 drives.  Power it up,
and see if it responds to the RXV21 addresses.

BTW, I found Baydel quite helpful when I wanted some information about
mine (labelled F11-311) -- but that was a decade ago and I don't know
if the same technical staff will still be there.
