According to the manual, that's a servo
reformatting kit for the 7906
drive:

All I see in the case at least is the pack. Is it a head alignment pack or a
servo reference pack (they are different animals)? Perhaps the other
required items are underneath? Just a pack won't rewrite your servo data on
a 7905/7906 drive. You need a special servo formatting head (and temporarily
replace head 0), the servo formatting pca, and a special head alignment
preamp pca. To "do it right", there's some special hand tools required, the
degauser, and the DSU.
In addition, there are several other things that are "as long has you have
it torn apart you really should do" items.
I did get a complete toolkit in an aircraft aluminum case that includes all
the stuff above, and it definitely contained things that aren't in the
pictured case (or at least I'd be hard pressed to imagine them fitting in
the above case).
Maybe it's just the cartridge. Or maybe it's a much fatter case than mine
and the stuff is stacked under the cartridge. I dunno.
