I found docs for a 4030-Plus and Rev2, but these are quite different from a Rev1. Does anyone have a lead on docs or drivers for this VLB caching controller?

This is what I could find shortly

I'll dig some more.
Thanks, that's helpful. Unfortunately, the Wayback machine doesn't appear to have any of the files 🙁.
Found some OS/2 drivers for rev1 and rev2

Thank you, thank you! My Google technique must be sub-standard. I spent an hour poking around and didn't turn up any of those. A manual would still help, but I think I have enough to get going now 😀.
Happy to help .
That http://files.mpoli.fi/hardware/ site is almost magical . You may want to add it to your bookmarks as it contains a wealth of old drivers, some of which are available nowhere else . It is on archive.org, in case it ever disappears .

I didn't check the links, they are all ftp and no, archive.org hasn't taken those... I see mpoli.fi has come to the rescue...
