Yep, it's a controller for the TS05, which is apparently a rebadged Cipher
F880.  Nine track, 1600 bpi, Pertec formatted.  I don't know whether one of
these can be used with a stock F880, but I'm going to try find out tonight,
assuming my disk controller has finished marking all of the bad blocks on
my "new" ESDI drive.
