THe S1 DTiVos are ATA33, what about S2 DTiVos?

I heard that they are ATA66 controllers, but when my HDVR2 boots I get IDEbus=33. I am not linux guy, but it appears that it is running at ATA33 speed.

If the interface is ATA66+ and the cables are 40-wire, not 80-wire, it will run at ATA33.

9th tee sells a modified ATA66 cable for use in dual drive TiVos.

That's why I'm asking. Maybe they have those because 80-wire cables are the norm. Maybe there is a performance reason.
