Just as a note, it doesn't have to just be the cable or the second
device, it can be either one or both or maybe the controller too. :-)

I don't remember, but I might actually be using an 80-wire cable here
on my box at work (as if it would matter with only an ATA33
controller):

atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller> port 0xf000-0xf00f at device
7.1 on pci0
ad0: 19541MB <Maxtor 52049U4> [39703/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33
ata0-slave: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable
ad1: 6149MB <Maxtor 90650U2> [12495/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA33
acd0: CDROM <ATAPI CDROM> at ata1-master using PIO4
afd0: 96MB <IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI> [32/64/96] at ata1-slave using PIO0

ata0-master is actually the device that is capable of ATA66 (actually
ATA100 I think).  I think ata0-slave is only capable of ATA33, but I
could be wrong.

My system at home with an ATA100-capable drive on a PIIX4 controller
doesn't mention anything about a non-compliant cable (though it really
is an 80-wire cable, maybe that's why), but it is also the only thing
on the bus (I use SCSI for everything else):

atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller> port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device
7.1 on pci0
ad0: 39083MB <Maxtor 5T040H4> [79408/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33
