What I've found is that most SCSI-2 controllers talk okay to SCSI-1 devices
if there are only SCSI-1 devices on the bus.

If you mix SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 devices with a SCSI-2 controller you can
get reselect errors and other mismash that can render the bus
catatonic.  We had to retire a couple of old SCSI-1 drives for this
reason.  The drives caused problems and were worth less than a seperate
controller would have cost to keep them.

The problem doesn't seem to occur with mixed buses and SCSI-1 controllers
because the problem seems to be only when the SCSI-1 devices start to see
SCSI-2 features actually happen on the bus like extended reselect.
