According to the letter I got today, dated May 2002, HP has announced:

"Software products for the HP e3000 are distributed using DDS1 formatted
media.  Due to new format DDS media devices and obsolescence of the DDA1
devices, HP is discontinuing software distribution on DDS1 media format,
effective August 1, 2002.  The replacement will be DDS2, which is readable
on all DDS2, DDS3, and DDS4 devices.  Additionally, MPE/iX Release 7.5,
which is due to be released in the second calendar half of 2002, will be
released on DDS2 formatted media."
