I've seen on. Once. And no I didn't get it.

It was part of a thing called a 'Gamma-11' which was a controller for 
some kind of medical imaging system. The hardware was an 11/34 with a 
VS60, a couple of RL drives (I was asked to sort out the RL11, which I 
did), and some special interface boards. Curiously, the latter were Qbus, 
connected up via a DW110B. There was a BA11-K box with a 4-slot Unibus 
backplane and a 4 slot Qbus backplane it it, linked by the DW11-B.
