Do you mean DPT? They certainly are good - their top of the range
model is a 32-bit busmastering controller with 4MB cache and RAID
capability.

None of the free OS's support them AFAIK as all the necessary info is
subject to NDA's. However, I remember seeing someone on one of the
FreeBSD mailing lists saying they were negotiating with DPT and they
thought it looked reasonably promising.
