Is the DPT card no good? I guess that's my main concern. I never heard of
DPT until I checked the hardware list. Out of curiosity, do you know why
FreeBSD is not choosing to support the Adaptec card? I consider Adaptec to
be somewhat of a defacto standard when it comes to SCSI/RAID controllers,
and I can't imagine why it wasn't one the first ones supported.
