How's that work?

I would have figured the bottleneck would be at the source of the
bottleneck. If you use a ATA 33 cable, you're capped at 33, if you use
an ATA 66/100, you've got independant channels for each device, and
thus shouldn't have any problem between the drives, unless of course
you're using an old controller that doesn't support the higher
standards.

Can you post a link to somewhere that explains that the controllers
clock-down to the lowest device on the independant cables?

Thanks,
Josh McFarlane
