From what I understand anytime that you but a slower device (in throughput) the ide interface with always default to the slower speed. Makes sense since if you had a udma33 and a udma100 device the 33 speed can't run at 100 but the 100 can run at 33. I've heard that one should put the cdroms on on ide ribbon and the hdd's on another.
I don't have confirmation of that, but my educated guess is that what you say is true. My doubts arise from the fact that as the hardware can not talk to the drives simultanously, it could perhaps use different speeds for each one. But probably not. After all, udma100 needs a different cable than for udma33. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
