I've got a few used Fujitsu SCSI 3490 drives. I'm open to serious offers,
but I'm not going to give them away.

They're perfectly fine drives if you *need* to deal with 3490 tapes, but
I don't recommend them for general use. If 3490 compatability isn't a
requirement, you're much better off with a new DDS-4 drive or a DLT drive.
