DESCRIPTION:  Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics utility is a DOS based tool
              designed to run on all Compaq products that contain a Smart
              SCSI Array Controller using SCSI hard drives. The two main
              functions of DAAD are to collect all possible information
              about the array controllers in the system and generate a
              list of detected problems.  This data can then be saved to a
              file for analysis. In most cases, DAAD will provide enough
              information to initiate problem resolution immediately.
              DAAD consists of one (1) diskette:
                DRIVE ARRAY ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS
