This is - surprise! - a clone of the DEC DZV11. Sometimes part numbers
are your friends!

Webster was an Australian company that made many Q-bus and a few Unibus
DEC-compatible options. Here in North America, they were frequently
relabeled with the "Aviv", "DSD", "Sigma", "Qualogy", and a few
other trademarks. Strangely enough, "Wombat", the Webster MSCP
config utility, was never renamed :-). Even if they tried, Webster's
chief software designer left some Easter Eggs behind that'll pop
up his name from the Wombat menu!
