Hey guys -

I've got an old backup tape from 1999 that I'd like to get the data off 
of.  My big problem - I don't have the old system/tape drive around 
anymore, or personally have anything that can handle the tape.  (The DDS2 
tape drive I tried just spit the tape back out at me.)

The tape is a DDS-3 Data Cartridge (Compressed Capacity 24 GB), an HP 
C5708A.

I do not know how much data is on the tape (or if it's been corrupted),
but I doubt that it's anywhere near the 24GB.  All I really need is a data
dump (to either a CD-R or such that I can FTP off to my server), and I'll
poke through it later.  I really can't spare the $680 (the cheapest data
recovery quote I've gotten) for a possibly corrupted tape...

any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.  8)
