	All DPT boards are still EATA compliant, that is the driver
	you need to choose from the list in the RH installer...

	From the 2.0.23 src tree:	(Only one handy)


 *		    Linux EATA SCSI driver		    *
 *							    *
 *  based on the CAM document CAM/89-004 rev. 2.0c,	    *
 *  DPT's driver kit, some internal documents and source,   *
 *  and several other Linux scsi drivers and kernel docs.   *
 *							    *
 *  The driver currently:				    *
 *	-supports all ISA based EATA-DMA boards		    *
 *       like PM2011, PM2021, PM2041, PM3021                *
 *	-supports all EISA based EATA-DMA boards	    *
 *       like PM2012B, PM2022, PM2122, PM2322, PM2042,      *
 *            PM3122, PM3222, PM3332                        *
 *	-supports all PCI based EATA-DMA boards		    *
 *       like PM2024, PM2124, PM2044, PM2144, PM3224,       *
 *            PM3334                                        *
 *      -supports the Wide, Ultra Wide and Differential     *
 *       versions of the boards                             *
 *	-supports multiple HBAs with & without IRQ sharing  *
 *	-supports all SCSI channels on multi channel boards *
 *      -supports ix86 and MIPS, untested on ALPHA          *
 *	-needs identical IDs on all channels of a HBA	    * 
 *	-can be loaded as module			    *
 *	-displays statistical and hardware information	    *
 *	 in /proc/scsi/eata_dma				    *
 *      -provides rudimentary latency measurement           * 
 *       possibilities via /proc/scsi/eata_dma/<hostnum>    *
