I dont have the box with all the board and cables so it's all from memory.

It carries a 50-class part number for BA23 boxes (mounted at the rear wall
of the drive cavity) it's breaks the 50pin out to a floppy (rx50 or 33)
and one drive (RDxx).  Th board is only three or 4 connectors and nothing
else so if you find the schematic you could make it easily.

For the BA123 it an M9058 which looks like a Qbus board (it is) and it 
breaks the 50pin out to the mix of up to 4 drives(RDxx) and a floppy 
(RX50 or 33).  The cables are 50pin IDC and the drive cables are 34 for 
floppy and hard disk and a narrow (22 or 26 pin) for the hard disk.  
The cables are nothing special (no PC half twists). The M9058 requires 
5V power off the Qbus.
