Hmm.. It was just my suspicion that it was due to the HPT366 controller.
I've no evidence to support that suspicion, so perhaps it isn't...
(espcially as the NT system disks are wide-SCSI), the HPT366 just runs a
20GB Maxtor which is the main file-sharing disk on my network.

Sure. I've actually got a compaq smart-array controller in my
"junk" box,
which has 16MB of battery-backed cache memory, but I can't use it as it
will
only work in a Compaq machine. (tried installing it in a variety of
non-compaq PC's and the array config utility will not see it)
shame. :-(
