Anyone recognize this board?

This 68030 accelerator board was in a Mac Plus I picked up several years ago. Looked through dozens of posts and cannot identify it. There is no model number or vendor marking on the device, but they use the letters 'CX' all over the place, so maybe that's the model?

I think it's a Novy Quik30, I've the Novy Quik20 which looks exactly the same apart from CPU type

Thanks! After a LOT of poking around I'm convinced it's a Novy Mac20MX. I found a Quik30 manual and there are some differences between the units. Consensus seems to be that software for TSI accelerators will work fine.

Yep, some version of a Novy. I have one just like it. I made a thread about it few years back.
I never found a manual for this exact model.

Mine almost feels like a DIY kit, or early revision. Note the socketed crystal for some super early overclocking fun.
