I am not.  Where do we go from here?  Suggestions, please.  I want the DPT
code checked-in.  I think it represents a good opportunity for FreeBSD to 
gain some new and interesting functionality.  I have tested the driver
rather
well and do not know how to test it any harder.  On the other hand I do not 
want buggy code introduced (especially with my name on in :-).

I can, for the last week run ANY mix of SCSI loads, with up to 512
concurrent disk readers/writers.  This is running for days on end and is as
stable or more as other SCSI drivers are, but (by my own admission), there
is a way to crash the system while accessing the DPT.  Is it a DPT
driver/hardware problem? Does not look that way.  but...

Simon
