Erhm, since you dont program the chip differently you hardly get UDMA66
speeds, just the mode :)

A simple test is to verify the interface speed by doing fx:

dd if=/dev/adN of=/dev/null bs=1m count=1 iseek=0

on an unmounted disk (the bs should be within the disk cacke size)

This 2-3 times in a row should give an idea of the interface speed...
