The way I fixed all my HPT 366 problems was just install a Promise Ultra66. Now I have zero problems with any drive.

From what I heard, Maxtor and WD have problem with HPT, Quantum has no problem with any bios+driver, IMB has no problem with latest driver+bios. I am planning to get a Fujitsu 7200rpm drive wonder anyone has experience with it and htp66
 
btw i have a quantum and no problem with hpt

I have a WD Expert 18 gig drive, no problems since 1.2 bios and drivers, and I have copied around files >1gb with no problems. Not a single problem with the controller, really.

I heard that if you format the Maxtor with 512bytes cure the lockup with ata66

My drive is only a 13.6 GB Western Digital and I use the lastest drivers from ABit's site. Not a single problem as of yet.

I use an ABIT BE6 and I have my Matrox 6800 27.2g 7200rpm DMA/66 on the 66 controller. Yesterday I deleted 2 .vob files 1g each. Both files deleted in less than 2 seconds. I'm happy.
