You killed yourself....

You do not have a host that will do idebus=66
You have now dived you clock timing in half.
You should expect to have a driver time out before the device is completed.

You really ought to rename this parameter to pcibus. Even though it doesn't do justice to the VLB bus, the potential for user error is much smaller.

Until today you had a vaild point!

Promise Ultra100TX2 (20268 chipset).

This is a 66MHz clocked Ultra100 Chipset release this week.

Ok... but how does this invalidate my point? The 66MHz still applies to the PCI bus, so pcibus is ok for the parameter name, no?

Because this card is designed to run in a 66MHz pcibus or standard 33MHz pcibus, but the idebus/bridge is clocked at double pump or 1:1 depending on the busses 64-bit/66MHz, 64-bit/33MHz, or 32-bit/33MHz

This is were it gets messy........so I do not have an answer that I valid at this point, however I do know that 66MHz clocking is about to become standard...
