Free tape drives - the deal

Well, I have greatly underestimated the demand for 8mm SCSI tape drives. I have been flooded with requests for the things (but oddly enough, not much else) by quite a great number of people, including some that may not be on the list ("hey, I heard your giving away tape drives! Can I have one?"). I am only giving away three units (the rest, along with just about everything else, is going to RCS/RI for trading stock) - a limitted supply, but there were only about twenty of these routers in service across the country. So, in order to get these to the right people, I would like any interested parties to tell me _why_ they want one of these drives. If it is going to be used for a classic computer or old workstation - good. If the owner respects the artifacts for what they were - better. In other words, the three people that can come up with the most noble fates for the critters will get them shipped to their door. I still really do not know any of you people well, so there will be no politics. I will announce the winners in a few days. Please send your responses to me rather than the list. The price? Still free for postage... I should add that these drives _should_ work just fine. The routers were pulled from everyday service not terribly long ago, and most have been treated well. And finally, a last minute addition - does anyone need a FDDI bypass? William Donzelli william(a)ans.net
