I'd suggest getting a standard ata/33 cable and settle for that.
If you do a lot of searching on the Net you'll find out that PCChips
anything, is the worst cheap junk. I suspect you'll have problems
with its ata/66 controller no matter what you try. Using a 40 wire
ata/33 cable will hopefully solve most of your problems. They're
only a coupl'a $$'s, so it'd be worth tryin.
