That exact disk model cant do UDMA66 reliably, even Linux has it
on the blacklist in the driver....

Not all non IBM disks has problems, that was not the message back
then, at least not from me. What I said, and still says, is that
Maxtor and WDC has a bad reputation on making drives that can't work
reliably with UDMA66, quantum has its share too but not so bad.
IBM's on the other hand works as expected...

Not really, and it wont solve your particular problem, you should
just run that disk as UDMA33 and it should work...
