Where in what I said above do I say that it will _not_ work with _other_ MPT based drivers? Nowhere!
Yes it _will_ work with other MPT-like drivers but to cut and paste again from above: * MPT based only, * doesn't follow a spec to save its life, * far inferior in SAS capabilities and SAS representation again, due to the fact that it is MPT based.
When I say MPT, I do not mean MPT(R), I mean MPT as in technology, not as in trademark.
