Hello,
I'm using an OCZ PATA SSD on Apple PowerBook5,4 computer.
The IDE drive fails to recognize 80-conductor cable that
connects the drive to motherboard to fall back to UDMA33.
This patch fixes this behavior by assuming that the cable is
short-40pin when the model string matches "PowerBook5" and
the motherboard detects 80c cable.
This patch is against drivers/ide/pmac.c in linux 2.6.28.8.
(before applying the patch) hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 90 MB in 3.03 seconds = 29.73 MB/sec
(dmesg 2.6.26)
ide0: Found Apple UniNorth ATA-6 controller, bus ID 3, irq 39

hda: CORE_PATA, ATA DISK drive
hda: host max PIO4 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO4
hda: drive side 80-wire cable detection failed, limiting max speed to UDMA33

(after applying the patch) hdparm -i /dev/hda
