It is mentioned in the Oct. 88 Microsystems Option Guide and both RSX and VMS supported it. It was also mentioned in the Dec 92 Real Time Products Technical manual.

I just picked a AAV11-D D/A Board for which documentation is also 
scarce. The general design may be similar.  I should be able to reverse 
engineer the analog/digital output section for pin-outs. Lacking 
manuals/source code, if someone has an existing driver or software in 
binary, I would be willing to disassemble that for its secrets.  Perhaps 
these boards mimic the methods used by ADAC or Data Translation used for 
their Qbus products.  Their documentation may also give some insight on 
how to setup these CSR's.
