Mandrake has full support for the hpt 366, I have an Abit BP6 with a Western Digital
and a Maxtor drive attached to the hpt366 controller. Mandrake worked out fo the box.
I piece of advice, if your SCSI writer is actually an IDE writer that uses the
Generic SCSI driver support. DO NOT PLUG IT INTO YOUR HPT366 CONTROLER, it will
always lock up on boot if you do that.
