Does such a thing exist? The peripherals handbook I got with my 11/03
doesn't list such a thing, but I can imagine that there are Q-bus tape
drive controllers that talk to a pertec interface that would work.

Yeah, but I don't think DEC made any.
You'll be looking for third party QBUS cards, made by people like MDB, Dilog,
Emulex, AVIV, etc. Google for QBUS and Pertec for some ideas.

Yes there are indeed QBus cards for the Pertec interface.
The Emulex QT-131 is one of those (dual card type).
I've found 2 of those in a box of misc stuff.

DEC probably didn't make one at that time. although IIRC the TSV05 was a
Pertec controller that went with the TS05 magtape (a rebadged Cipher 880)
I am sure there were also third party cards from the likes of Emulex and
Dilog. I can't see why any of them would have problems in an 11/03
machine (modulo the normal problems with odd signals on the top 4 address
lines in some early backplanes).

The DEC TSV05 M7206 / M7206-PA is identical to the Emulex QT13 / QT14.
They look identical and a copy of the Emulex QT13 / QT14 firmware runs
in the DEC TSV05 M7206 / M7206-PA. The benefit of the Emulex firmware is
the ability to switch between TSV05 emulation and TMSCP where the DEC
firmware is castrated to TSV05 only.
