Hi folks,
Is there any (surely not but worth to grab in) way to reduce the latency of the HPT 366 chipset?. Sisoft's Sandra tells that it takes 246 clocks!! Sure hang-on with OCing and heavy charged PCI bus.
Robby's BIOS with HPT 1.28 works great until 75 mhz, afterwoods bye, bye. Data corruption and so on. Maybe he could modify BIOS PCI HPT366 latency to 32. I know I'm asking too much.
OK, I'll buy a Promise ATA100/133 (thanks RRLedford) and take the chip out with a hammer....
Have fun but.....don't forget Big Brother is watching You with Alexa......

Power without control is nonsense!
Hey! great decision on the Promise side! 
And... Oh!... BTW, if you really take it out (the 666 controller
) hard way... hammer or whatever is good... 
let us now!

Hi,
some harddisks (old IBM DTTA and DTLA) are prone to act weirdly (from simple crash to corruptions which is in my opinion a worse situation) when you push PCI frequency a little to high.
Indeed, after FSB at 75 (PCI = 37.5), you're entering into Alice's wonderland. I run a BP6, dual 366 at 500 (FSB=92, PCI=30 (FSB/3)). With FSB at 91 (PCI=45 (FSB/2)), the best (and worse) I can get from my IBM HD is data corruption whichever controller I use (vanilla UDMA 33, HPT 366 or Promise Fastrack 66), this with plenty of BIOS (currently RU HPT 1.25, I'm gonna try the Ron RU 1.28, hope this will fix another strange issue between w2k and HPT366 with HD connected (CD are fine thou), and previous NT4 was a charm).
Hope this help.
