.Sh NAME
.Nm dpt
.Nd DPT RAID Controller SCSI driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
For one or more EISA Controllers
.Cd "device eisa"
.Cd "device dpt"
.Pp
For one or more PCI Controllers
.Cd "device pci"
.Cd "device dpt"
.Pp
To allow PCI adapters to use memory mapped I/O if enabled:
.Cd options DPT_ALLOW_MEMIO
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver supports DPT RAID SCSI controllers.
.Pp
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 revamped 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
.Xr asr 4
driver.
.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the following RAID adapters:
