FreeBSD hbo.isi.edu 4.0-20000214-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-20000214-CURRENT #4: Thu Feb 24 16:47:59 PST 2000     root@pub.isi.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/PRECISION  i386
>Description:
For some reason, the ata driver only supports UDMA33 on an Intel ICH 
ATA-66 controller together with an IBM-DPTA-372730 drive. Both drive
and controller should be UDMA66-capable.

The relevant lines from dmesg:

[hbo: /usr/src/sys] dmesg | grep ata
ata-pci0: <Intel ICH ATA-66 controller> port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 31.1 on pci0
ata0 at 0x01f0 irq 14 on ata-pci0
ata1 at 0x0170 irq 15 on ata-pci0
ad0: 26105MB <IBM-DPTA-372730> [53040/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33
acd0: CD-RW <SONY CD-RW CRX140E> at ata1-master using UDMA33

The relevant lines from my kernel config file:

device          ata
device          atadisk                 # ATA disk drives
device          atapicd                 # ATAPI CDROM drives
options         ATA_STATIC_ID           #Static device numbering
options         ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA    #Enable DMA on ATAPI devices

I saw this note in ata(4):

     Remember that in order to use UDMA4 mode you have to use a special 80
     conductor cable, and the driver tries to determine if you have such a ca-
     ble attached before setting UDMA4 mode.

I'm *assuming* our machine has such a cable (it's a brand-new Dell 
workstation) - in any case, how do I verify that?

Thanks,
Lars
