The driver has *no* timeout handling, for example, so it's not full production yet, but it was based on the released BSDi BSD/OS 4.0.1 DPT driver, so it should have some ingrown stability. It handles Ultra 2, Ultra 3, Fibre, dual-port fibre and up to 4 SCSI channel cards. I am interested in people to test the driver and tools, contact me if you currently own the above DPT controller cards and I'll curl up the driver source and tools. If there is anyone interested in porting it to the 3.X or 4.X environments, I must admit there is limited will currently to do that here, thus porting it to the CAM layer in the later OS' would be highly appreciated.
