This is a really stupid question, and I'm vaguely embarrassed at asking it, but here goes anyway : I've just replaced my IDE cables with ATA100 compliant ones (up from ATA33). Is it possible to install them backwards and have the drives still work ? This is the relevant output from my dmesg : atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable ad0: 39266MB <IC35L040AVER07-0> [79780/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad2: 19541MB <Maxtor 92041U4> [39703/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA66 acd0: CDROM <TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-6202B> at ata0-slave using PIO4 acd1: CD-RW <CREATIVE CD-RW RW1210E> at ata1-slave using PIO4 As you can see, the second drive is working ok, but there's a nasty hang after atapci0 is detected and the drive is still at UDMA33, so I've obviously done something wrong.
