[ale] Swap meet?

[Greg Freemyer]

I just realized I might need some old Fibre-channel switches as part
of my tape drive project.  (I'm trying to put in place a full
collection from old-to-new drives, etc.)

Somehow I doubt anyone has an old 1Gbit FC switch just hanging around,
but if so let me know.

FYI: I did buy a couple DLT8000 drives a couple weeks ago and a LTO-4 drive.

Sort of intriguing to put together a tape drive collection, but I
can't say its been much fun getting data off of the tape media my
clients are handing me.
