* Can anyone point me at a web source of information for a

It's a rebadged Cipher F880. I don't know of any web sources of
information, but you might look in any minicomputer rag like
_Processor_ to search the dozens of places that repair Cipher
1/2" tape drives and see if one of them is geographically near to
you.

Probably so they could sell higher-density drives for more dinero. ;-)
However, I'll bet a TS05 would become a standard F880 if you stuck EPROMs
from a standard F880 into it.
