ATA33 and ATA66/100 Cable - Heating drives...

[Sergio Rui Silva <sergio.rui@xxxxxxx>]

Hi!...

I hope I'm not going off topic here... I had a ATAPI CDRW drive and a 
ATA33 DVD drive sharing a ATA66/100 cable (it came like that with the 
computer I bought...) because they heated too much, even when there 
wasn't any disk in them, I changed the cable to an ATA33. The heating 
stoped.
I was hopping that some one could explain me this our point me to some 
explanation...
