[rescue] Need HP 9000 3000 DDS2 Drive

[John Floren]

I have a JetStore 2000 and a SureStore Tape 5000, both external. The
SureStore is a DDS3, not entirely sure what the JetStore is. If you're
in the Bay Area it might be worth your while to just come grab them if
you think they could be useful, I'm in Livermore.
