They certainly are good - their top of the range model is a 32-bit busmastering controller with 4MB cache and RAID capability. None of the free OS's support them AFAIK as all the necessary info is subject to NDA's. However, I remember seeing someone on one of the FreeBSD mailing lists saying they were negotiating with DPT and they thought it looked reasonably promising. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
