Get a Bering SCSI/HPIB DDS drive ... you can connect it to your Classic
HP 3000 (via HPIB) and do the backups/tape-creations.

Then, unplug, change config, and plug into your 928 box (via SCSI)
and restore.  Note that if you have an HPIB card in your 928, you
can do one of the following:

   1) simply connect the reel-to-reel drive to the 928

or

   2) connect the Bering via HPIB (avoiding reconfig of the Bering)

> mobile DDS3 drive; everything's TCP/IP & NS/3000'd together, and every box

Or, put the 58 on the network with the 928, and use DSCOPY to move files
across.
