I believe that Sigma use to produce PDP11 compatible QBUS floppy disk interface cards, which unlike the DEC M8029 RXV21 also included the control and formatting controller which in the DEC product lived in the RX02 drive unit. That the SDC-RXV21 would directly drive a Shugart 800/850 series 8" floppy drive either in FM RX01 or DEC MFM RX02 compatible format.
I have found an old copy of the user guide:

Although it says that it is a Qbus device it does not clarify if that is Q18 or Q22 compatible. Is anybody familiar with these cards.
Thanks
