www.dpt.com says this controller has a 40mhz 68040 ??

Anyone volunteered for the check-in yet? Has a FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE
boot disk been made with the DPT driver?
I'm looking at a RAID solution for a freebsd server I'm building.
Reliability is important (previous server had an uptime of 209 days before
a flaky disk forced a reboot!). Basically, either I use the DPT
controller, or a Mylex SCSI-to-SCSI controller connected to a standard PCI
controller. The Mylex solution is kinda slow, but since it simply appears
as a really big disk connected to your SCSI bus, it is almost guarrenteeed
to work with FreeBSD.
Anyone else using any kinda of RAID solution with freebsd now?
Tom
