I've never been able to find out - but HPT's own drivers don't seem to do it under any OS so I assume its ok.
From their drivers/BIOSes/chips I can only assume their engeneers' serious brain damage and incompetence. :-)
Well, Linux driver was hardly better.
The timing stuff should be pretty much the same for both ide and libata as libata lifted most of the rather nice ide-timing stuff directly from the old IDE layer.
Yeah, pata_hpt3*.c still have the same issues as the old hpt366 driver, namely changing PIO timings when setting DMA modes.
