[rescue] DLT tape drive.

[bran tregare]

Cool. I'm hoping to get my hands on one soon and test this beastie out, I 
need to start backing up my data on a regular basis again... I was able to 
get teh 40 gig drive to come up long enough to salvage the data off it onto 
a couple of machines before i send it off to be replaced by IBM...
