    i got a cubid 3688 last week and moved the bits from a working
    5.3 box into it. it came with a 3.5-2.5 cable which also split
    for the slimline cdrom.

    On reboot it forced the ATA100 travelstar drive to udma33
    and atacontrol wouldn't up it.

     I swapped out the cable for a normal ata100 one and used a
    2 dollar converter card on the back of the drive to convert
    2.5" -> 3.5" - works fine now.
