Yeah I deleted it because I mis-read your post! I thought you were saying that 'an 40 pin cable can support ATA-66'. But in fact what you were saying is that 'an 80 pin cable can support ATA-66'. I know the latter is true, but I am not sure about the former.

In fact, I am gonna find out right now... hold on

I guess I was right all along. A 40-pin IDE cable can only go so far as ATA-33.
