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.

Maxtor has problems with hpt366 also.

Too bad Maxtor is still broken with hpt366...
Also, using CDROM on hpt366 is recipe for disaster...
