Should be an M7620 KA650 CPU in a BA23 box with an M7168 / M7169 VCB02 QDSS video subsystem. The storage controller should be an M7555 RQDX3. Manual available here: http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/hcps/154aaow1.pdf If you could swap a Q-Bus PDP-11 CPU and memory in for the KA650 VAX CPU then you could run XXDP ZRQCH0 diagnostics to format the RD54 on the RQDX3.
