SCH is going to be on the motherboard so for systems where the detect fails it's probably easiest to take the PIIX approach and spot them by svid/sdid on the PCI device. All modern devices should support cable detect fine *but* it's perfectly valid to have a 40 wire cable providing it is very short, or indeed for a CF and SCH to both be on the board. In that case you'd hope they'd wire in a trick 80 wire detect but many don't.
