Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I've been using a maxtor udma/66 13.6GB drive on the hpt366 for over a year now with no problems whatsoever... even in udma/66 mode (also with several different BIOS revisions). I have not however, ever been able to get a cdrom to work on this controller either in windows 98/NT or in linux 2.2/2.4. I don't think Maxtors should be blacklisted.

Also, using CDROM on hpt366 is recipe for disaster... -Dan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
