DPT(4)       Kernel Interfaces Manual   DPT(4)

NAME
       dpt -- DPT RAID Controller SCSI driver

SYNOPSIS
       For one or more EISA Controllers
       device eisa
       device dpt

       For one or more PCI Controllers
       device pci
       device dpt

       To allow PCI adapters to use memory mapped I/O if enabled:
       options DPT_ALLOW_MEMIO

DESCRIPTION
       The dpt driver supports DPT RAID SCSI controllers.

       SmartRAID   (PM3???)  are  "Enterprise" class  cards,  and  SmartCache
       (PM2???) cards are in the "Workstation" class.  The Gen 4  Smart  Cache
       IV  products  were  a  re-issue of  the  Gen 3 utilizing upgraded (and
       cheaper to produce) silicon.  The PM3334 (Smart RAID III) was  not  re-
       vamped  as  there  was no upgraded silicon (68040 processor) and it was
       using the best DPT made.  Note there has been customer  confusion  over
       the  faster  enterprise class  card  supported by this driver being an
       older generation.  The Gen5 cards are supported by the asr(4) driver.

HARDWARE
       The dpt driver provides support for the following RAID adapters:

          DPT Smart Cache Plus
          Smart Cache II (PM2?2?, PM2022 [EISA], PM2024/PM2124 [PCI]) (Gen2)
          Smart RAID II (PM3?2?, PM3021, PM3222)
          Smart Cache III (PM2?3?)
          Smart RAID III (PM3?3?, PM3332 [EISA], PM3334UW [PCI]) (Gen3)
          Smart Cache IV (PM2?4?, PM2042 [EISA], PM2044/PM2144 [PCI]) (Gen4)
          Smart RAID IV
