Yes, a quite huge SDI disk/tape controller for CI adapter equipped
VAX/Alpha. I have most of one around, in pieces. It has a power cord you
could use as a leash for an elephant.

It booted from 5 1/4 floppies (at least mine did) and ran a OS dedicated
to serving disks to the VAX cluster. Like a larger/higher bandwith
multiple device version of DEC's DSSI disks.
