It is the Intel 82801DB ICH4 chipset. I think most of the ICH's are  
the same on this. So are you saying this can be set in filo, or  
coreboot?

IDE_CONFIG?IDE I/O Configuration Register(IDE?D31:F1)
Address Offset: 54h Attribute: R/W
Default Value: 00h Size: 32 bits

Bit 7 Secondary Slave Channel Cable Reporting ? R/W. BIOS should  
program this bit to tell the IDE
driver which cable is plugged into the channel.
0 = 40 conductor cable is present.
1 = 80 conductor cable is present.
Bit 6 Secondary Master Channel Cable Reporting ? R/W. Same description  
as bit 7
Bit 5 Primary Slave Channel Cable Reporting ? R/W. Same description as bit 7
Bit 4 Primary Master Channel Cable Reporting ? R/W. Same description as bit 7


Thanks - Joe
