Um, if the "good" SCSI card is wide, its default ID will be 15, not 7.

If you can keep the wide SCSI card from probing ID 7, I can't see any
reason this wouldn't work.  It might work even without that.

Termination might be a little tricky; the wide<->narrow adaptor will
need to deal with this, and I don't know how good they are.  I'm not
entirely clear on how arbitration works, but it seems to me there might
be trouble if it's possible for the narrow card to think it owns the
bus because it doesn't see a wide device on ID>7 (the wide card,
probably) asserting bus-ownership rights.

All that aside, this strikes me as a Pretty Neat Hack. :-)
