' inventory type stuff... But there's alot. Also a whole room full of an
' IBM 3480? mainframeish type of thing, with disk boxes etc. looks like a
' room full of washing machines...

If you get a chance to look closer, see if those disk boxes (or machines)
contain tape cartridges.
These carts are about 4 1/4" by 5" by 1" (inches), contain 1 spool each and
look like a corner has been cut off.
If you find some, poke into the gear and see how many can be loaded into the
racks (if you find some)
If you do indeed have an IBM 3480 tape library I want it, whether or not you
have any tape left.
(I want to dig a really deeeeeeeeep data mine!) ;]

PS: If anything has the number 3490 on it, even better!
