Re: the DPT controller.

The DPT presents an ST-506 interface to the operating system.  It is totally
transparent as far as DOS, Xenix, Unix, Pick, etc. are concerned.

The *ONLY* snag is that if the hard disks you are using happen to be
either RLL or ESDI, they must be reformmated to use with the DPT.  As far
as the OS goes, NO changes are required!

p.s.  the DPT controller is manufactured by Distributed Processing Technologies.:x
