There were a couple of different controllers, depending on the
option type. I know of at least two qbus controllers, one for
the DSD-880/20, and one for one of the other DSD models.

I'll have to check the controller I have, but I seem to remember
a set of blue handles, a 20-pin (or so) connector, and a dip
chip which was actually fuse-type links which you would break
or leave alone depending on the configuration.
