SCSI tape drive commands

[Tracey_10]

Is there a list of SCSI commands that can be sent to the SureStore DAT24 model C1556D?

I am learning VB6 and I want to create a utility that can issue SCSI commands to the DAT drive.

Thanks, Tracey

I have a Sony DAT that lists the SCSI commands in the Owners Manual.
Can anyone tell me where the SCSI commands are listed for the SureStore DAT24?

Thanks, Tracey

I did not see the command list, but here is the maunal:

I am puzzled that HP does not make this documentation available on HP equipment.
I have searched all of HP and the only document that shows the text string â SCSI commandsâ is the Owners manual, however, the section in the ownerâ s manual that is titled â SCSI commandsâ has nothing to do with SCSI commands, but with cleaning the tape drive.

Does HP have technical information on the SureStore DAT24 or is it considered obsolete and no longer worth having technical information?

If someone can let me know, I would appreciate it.
I do not want to waste any more time searching for something that does not exist.
