The CXY08 is already supported? dhu(4) or dz(4) or???

A CXA16 is also in my QBus inventory, but - again - I have no doc.

The RXV21 is less interresting as it is simple to use a RQDX3 as floppy
controller. It is easy to crimp a RQDX3 to 5,25"/3.5" floppy cable. This
is nice, since you can save the extra RQDX dist panel (That is usualy
not present in a BA[24]xx...) and it speaks MSCP. But I am digressing.
Perhaps a rxv(4) would be a good second exercise? ;-)
