[rescue] Needed: Tape drive for reading DC300 and DC600 tapes (SCSI?)

I've got a stack of DC300 and DC600 tapes which I'd like to get images, 
for archiving.  I'd like to find a SCSI drive which can read the tapes, 
so I can archive them, and hopefully make images of some of them 
available (they're install media for the Intel iPSC/860, and ETA-10 
supercomputers). 

Another option is to send tapes to someone to make images of, but I've 
got well over 100 tapes, and I'm not quite sure if any of them have data 
that shouldn't be made available (other than the source code tapes, 
which I may not be able to make available).

After this, I'm hoping to make available whatever I can (I also have some 
9-tracks of install media for the ETA-10 and CDC Cyber 205).
