[rescue] Sun 3 Workstation

[Kurt Nowak]

Considering their age, it's likely those tapes are in bad shape. A lot of
times the magnetic surface on the first block will stick to the band. Or
the drive band will snap or be unable to hold proper tension and the whole
thing will end up a tangled mess.  Depending on the hardware it might be
easier to set up a heterogeneous server on a Sparc with a remove CD net
install to whatever Sun3 you are able to get. SunOS 4.1.1 is easily
available on sun3arc and several of us have the CD images as well.

That's my 2 cents...
