Linux does indeed support the DPT caching SCSI cards.  Juding by the
comments in the Linux DPT driver source, DTP actually provided some
measure of assistance.  If somebody actually cares to write a driver for

EISA SmartCache+ card loan/purchase (provided I had some kind of 
gaurantee of something being produce).  Good Luck.
