Win 98 drivers for HP35470A

Looking to obtain Windows 98 drivers to install an HP 35470A tape drive. HP site keeps directing me to tools and utilities when I select drivers. What am I missing?

Any help on locating or providing drivers I can use to install tape drive under Win 98 would be much appreciated.

35470A DDS-1 replaced by C1534A ,

this is a quite hod drive, I think that w98 will already have the drives in the system, ad the tape drivers as per other components

Thanks for prompt reply to my question where you replied with "35470A DDS-1 replaced by C1534A, this is a quite hod drive, I think that w98 will already have the drives in the system, ad the tape drivers as per other components".

I am not quite sure what you are suggesting. Are you suggesting that I use obtain Win98 drivers for C1534A from HP site or try searching for C1534A drivers on Win98 SE disk to setup tape backup system?

I found C1534A product on HP support site, but it does not have actual Win98 drivers available. C1534A like the 35470A has tools and utilities to download from the HP site, but no actual Win 98 drivers.

Sorry I was not clear at all.
I mean that you should found the drivers in the win98 distribution disk, this is a "standard DDS tape drive" and "Standard DDS tape drive" are recognized by Win98, I had never connected a DDS1 unit, but for shure DDS2 and DDS3 are recognized, the driver is the same.
