I had an IBM 30Gb (DTLA307030) ATA/100 attached to the HPT366 on my Abit BP6
and had no end of trouble with it. I gave up and moved it to the UDMA/33
controller. When the disk developed a bad sector, I exchanged it and got a
Western Digital ATA/100 which works just fine on HPT366. So, I do this
there's an issue with HPT366 and IBM ATA/100 drives.
