This article was previously published under Q115287

Distributed Processing Technology (DPT) produces two lines of controllers that work with Windows NT; they are classified as SmartCache Plus and SmartCache 3 controllers. Some of these controllers require firmware upgrades to function properly with Windows NT.

The SmartCache 3 line of controllers need to have SmartROM version 2D1 and Firmware version 5E when you use them with Windows NT. According to DPT, this line of controllers support RAID 0, 1 & 5, but not on Windows NT. SmartCache 3 controllers include the following:

   PM2021/9X
   PM2122/9X
   PM2022A/9X
		

NOTE: A new driver is available for the PM2022A/9X for use with Windows NT version 3.5. This driver can be downloaded from the DPT bulletin board system (BBS) at 407-830-1070. The filename is NT351JJ.ZIP.

The SmartCache Plus line of controllers need to have SmartROM version 1K and Firmware version 3G. SmartCache Plus controllers include the following:
