John,
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "HP 3000s do not support
libraries". Do you mean that nobody has ever written software to drive a
tape library on M.P.E?

 If you were to say HP doesn't support this, I'd say that's not a
problem.
Or if you were to say M.P.E has no way to address this type of device,
then I'd say okay, that could be a problem.

 I could be wrong, but I don't think I'd have a support problem, only
because I don't use HP for hardware or software support.

As far as the 3000 not supporting it, I think it a question of what are
the requirements to connect it to the 3000, and be able to use it, and
will the end results be worth the effort?

Just my opnion.
Michael.
