SCSI Wide also supports plain old SCSI devices.

Yup, sellam's right, be warned however that your SCSI bus will be hobbled
to the speed of the slowest device usually.
Right. I'd certainly not mix wide and narrow devices on one channel.
Termination of the bus is also often a pain when you do this.
A narrow device will not slow down a wide bus to narrow width. But a
10 MHz device will slow down a 20 MHz SCSI bus to 10MHz.
What can't be done, is put 15 narrow devices on
one wide channel. Well, at
least and have them all work anyway.
Agreed.
