For now change this....
#define HPT366_ALLOW_ATA66_4 1 to #define HPT366_ALLOW_ATA66_4 0
It appears to be a timing issue or I have not figured out if there needs to leading IRQs generate or what.
I have a Katina 13.6GB Test Drive from quantum. The original pci card from HighPoint got it up and near 20MB/sec and a little dorking around in the procfs, I got it to jump to 33MB/sec. I for got to mention that I did not write down what I was trying and got distracted......I base this on a 64MB transfer 1.93 secs.
Regardless, modify the code and it should go fine. Expect about 17MB/sec in UDMA mode 3.
