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.
