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).
