Jay thanks for the info as I knew nothing about it until I seen it yesterday
at the auction. It was put into storage yesterday and I will have to get to
it again to see if it's a 7980S or not.

HP tape drive
7980
All for $10
FYI, in case you didn't already know... the 7980 is one (if not THE)
cadillac of tape drives. Very nice unit, and built like a TANK. They
rarely
need repair.
Is it a 7980, or 7980S?
Great drive. They seem to go on ebay for around $250. $10 bucks is a
steal!
Now, on that HP3000, that brings a question to mind,
but I'll put it in a
different post.
