In case someone might be interested to take and reuse...

Yale University recently decommissioned 4 * IBM 3494 tape libraries
and will recycle them for scrap metal before June 30th, unless some
other institution would like to take and reuse them.  The libraries
and 3590 drives were maintained by IBM and are serviceable, but
resellers were not interested.  Does anyone need/want any of this:
         4 * 3494 L12 frames w/ single gripper robotics
         5 * 3494 D12 frames
         2 * 3494 D14 frames
        12 * 3494 S10 frames
        10 * 3590 H1A FC drives
        12 * 3590 E1A SCSI drives
Library frames have been separated but drives still remain installed.
All of the hardware is freely available, but you would need to pack
and remove it from our floor.  Your institution would need to sign
an affidavit officially taking responsibility for the proper disposal
of any hardware taken from Yale, in accordance with Federal regulations.

If interested, please reply to or call...
