I will have to reboot to find this out. However, it was the latest

normal BIOS for the regular IDE controllers hung the computer when it hit
the 40GB drive during boot.

There was a BIOS update targeting problems with the newer IBM drives
on the 366 - what HPT BIOS did give you problems?

Thanks for a tip - I'll try it. Hopefully the two are not USB and HPT :-S
