He give me the original back-up of drives parameters into VCD file format... but I can't findany software for read this files!!The original drives was commissioned into 1998.Witch software can manage this kind of files?? I try with Drivemonitor, but is not able to open!! The files are ASCII file, so I can read by Notepad (or something like that...), but is very hard understand (I must read parameters and check into manuals....). Thanks.

You can send me PM with Email adress to get a copy off the converting tool. Regards, Marcjan
