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

Mystery pre prod Novy Quik20? accelerator - missing chips, indentification

Hi all, A while back I purchased this 68000 accelerator (advertised as an Amiga accelerator), shoved it in a box and bought it out the other day trying to work out what it was. From research, the closest match from the 1992 book "Build your own Macintosh and save a bundle" is to that of a Novy...

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.
