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
