However, I've been bugging DPT to make a driver and they have said "we're working on it. its been outsourced." So, eveyone that reads this should email DPT and tell them to get a move on so us FreeBSD users can enjoy their card... Oh yeah, they are a lot cheaper than mylex. Also, my experience with mylex (which is a from a few years ago under SCO unix) is that they were "flimsy"... like we destroyed more than a few by reseating the card... Of course, that may have changed since then...
