I understand that the 2.4.3-20mdk does only support ATA-33 - going by the
few comments made on this list. Ho hum, overall I'm not that worried
about my hd transfer speed (its not too noticeable) but of course it would
be nice to have things running as they're supposed to.

absolutely true,
but
Those 'dummy' wires are for grounding out each pin. Allows for less signal
noise. (Just basically as you said.. but the wires are for grounding) so each
