Ok. But I would need the datasheets, in order to properly set up registers
on the board before using it. Didn't find them on the web. Could you ask
them ?

Well, it's not surprising that it doesn't work, as the patch handled this
as a HTP366 board. I would be surprised if the registers where the same :)
Also the HTP366 has only one channel, which is why it doesn't probe the
second.

In pciide.c, in the "Sonnet Tempo Ultra66 IDE Controller" entry, could
you change 'hpt_chip_map' to 'default_chip_map' ? This should make your
board work in PIO mode (slow, but at last it work :)
For Ultra-DMA to work I need the datasheet of the controller.
