recovery procedures.

From this point forward, we may refer to the Quantum VS80 tape drive
simply as the “tape drive.”

Quantum provides this document to software and firmware engineers and technicians who support
Quantum VS80 tape drives. It also serves software and firmware engineers and technicians who
integrate Quantum VS80 tape drives into automated systems such as tape drive libraries.
