[Sorry about that blank quoted post moments ago - goofy fingers first 
thing in the morning.]

it appears that around 7/20/99 8:07 AM, Mark Conway Wirt said:

Actually, DPT's new generation V cards include SMOR (Storage Manager on 
Rom), a card-based config utility, so you don't have to boot into DOS to 
deal with the array...and they're FAST.

We bought a couple of the SmartRaid V "Decade" cards (the low-end card) 
to test them out, prior to upgrading to the "Century" card. So far, 
they're running well.

(That said, I should mention that we're using them in a pair of Linux 
boxen right now, for which new drivers have just been released. I 
understand that BSD drivers are in progress).
