DDC(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual DDC(4)NAME
ddc -- VESA Display Data Channel V2 devices
SYNOPSIS
ddc at iic? addr 0x50
DESCRIPTION
The ddc driver provides support for accessing the VESA Display Data Channel Version 2 supported by many video displays.
BUGS
This driver does not provide any mechanism for access from user applications. Its only use at this point is to provide a means for frame-
buffer device drivers to query monitor description data (EDID) using a specialized in-kernel API. No support for sending control commands to
display devices is provided.
SEE ALSO iic(4), ddc(9), edid(9)HISTORY
The ddc device appeared in NetBSD 4.0.

get-edid(1) General Commands Manual get-edid(1)NAME
get-edid, parse-edid - read-edid tools to retrieve and interpret monitor specifications using the VESA VBE DDC protocol
SYNOPSIS
get-edid | parse-edid
get-edid > filename
parse-edid < filename
DESCRIPTION
The read-edid utility comprises two tools: get-edid and parse-edid.
get-edid uses Linux's vm86(2) system call to enter virtual 8086 mode and perform Data Display Channel (DDC) transfers using the VESA BIOS
Extensions (VBE) to retrieve information from monitors, including identification strings, supported sync ranges, available video modes, and
video mode parameters. Such information is often useful for configuring X Window System servers such as XFree86.
The data obtained by get-edid is in a binary format, so the parse-edid command is available to interpret it and generate a human-readable
block of text information that can also be included in an XFree86 XF86Config file.
It is customary to invoke get-edid and parse-edid together in a pipeline.
get-edid and parse-edid accept no options, recognize no environment variables, read no input files, and create no output files.

I'm quite new to HP-UX. I got an SSD which fits physically to my system. However, it just doesn't function as a bootable disk.
I can format the drive but I am getting I/O errors when I complete the ddcommand. The error is as follows:
I/O Error
