[rescue] RS6K use special tape drives?

[Michael Still]

I had a similar situation with an internal hp dds drive sold for x86 not 
working in an hp9000. Just didn't work. Now the same model but external 
does work. Go figure. I think part of the deal is that dds drives aren't 
that great and they want you to use a better tape drive anyway.
