HP DDS drives technical reference manual - where to find them

Hi,

I saw a post including a chapter of the DDS technical reference manual. I couldn't locate the other chapeters online.
The title was: HP DDS drives technical reference manual.

Where can these be found?

Thanks.

Samy.

Hi,

This link only gives user's guide.
The manulas I'm looking for are technical reference guides.

These are their titles which I cannot find on the docs.hp.com.

HP DDS technical manual
The 6-volume HP DDS Technical Manual also includes the following:
├в ┬в Hardware Integration Guide, volume 1
├в ┬в Software Integration Guide, volume 2
├в ┬в The SCSI Interface, volume 3
├в ┬в Specifications, volume 4
├в ┬в Background to DDS Products, volume 6

Thanks.

Hi Samy,

I couldn't find the Tech Ref Manuals on the support site unfortunately, so I have attached them in a zip file to this thread.
I have provided the manuals for the new SCSI and USB DAT drives as I know that you have a DAT24 USB.
I'll give the suport web site folks a call to find out why the documents aren't somewhere obvious and hopefully sort it for other users.

I also included manual volume 5 which you didn't mention as that is the UNIX config guide, which also includes Linux as you are using that OS.

Manual Vol 3
(Sorry, had to split the files into separate zips as they were too large for the 1MB upload limit to the forums!)

One last item: is volume 6 available?
It gives background info about DDS technology.
Thanks.

Hi Samy,

Yes please find Volume 6 it attached, sorry I had forgotten that one.
If you are interested in all things DAT, then there is a website set-up by HP on behalf of the DAT Manufacturers group, it has some info about DAT technology, roadmaps etc.
