The UDMA33/UDMA66 cable recognition depends on one particular wire to
be not connected as far as I recall.  My guess is that soren connected
that.

Now, you could either find the offending wire on the pcb and cut it,
or you can hack the freebsd driver to ignore the test (I don't think
the chip checks autonomously) but that does not give you a guarantee
that UDMA66 will actually work.

I havn't tried it.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
