Getting DPT controllers has been a problem for a long time.

This is because of two reasons:
1. They are not exactly beeing produced for the mass market like 
   Buslogics or Adaptecs. The largest part of DPTs production goes
   directly to manufacturers of workstations and servers. 
2. DPT doesn't advertise....
