+DPT EATA
+.Tn SCSI
+adapter driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "dpt* at isa? port ? irq ? dma ?"
+.Cd "dpt* at eisa? slot ?"
+.Cd "dpt* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.Cd "scsibus* at dpt?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for third and fourth generation DPT
+.Tn SCSI
+controllers. All communication with the controllers is conducted via the
+EATA (Enhanced AT Bus Attachment) protocol.
+.Pp
+DPT adapters examine and interpret all
+.Tn SCSI
+commands received before passing them to any underlying physical device(s).
+In this way, caching, RAID and other transformations are achieved while
+remaining transparent to the host operating system.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the adapters listed below. Later models are
+supported by the
+.Nm iop
+driver.

+.It dpt%d: readcfg failed - see dpt(4)
+The EATA configuration data did not appear upon request. This may be caused
+by older firmware. Generally the solution is to power-cycle the affected
+machine.
+.It dpt%d: spurious intr
+A spurious interrupt was received from the HBA.
+.It dpt%d: bogus status (returned CCB id NNNN)
+A corrupt or incomplete status packet was received from the HBA.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm dpt
+driver first appeared in
+.Nx 1.4.2 .
+.Sh BUGS
+EATA adapters other than listed may function correctly with the
+.Nm
+driver, however a definitive list is not available.
+.Pp
+Older boards that do not support scatter-gather I/O or DMA are not supported.
+.Pp
+ECC formatted disk and arrays (i.e. with a sector size of 528 bytes) do not
+work correctly with the PM2041 and certain firmware revisions of the PM3334.
