The DAC960 products are Mylex products. They were never BusLogic
products. And they are not yet supported by Linux. Get DPT if you
need RAID.
But the DAC960SU is an external SCSI-to-SCSI RAID controller and hence should
be OS-independent, with no explicit OS support needed. There's no reason to
believe that a DAC960SU + BT-958 combination won't work, but I don't know if
anyone's actually running one. It's the DAC960 PCI RAID controllers that are
not supported.
