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:
