Exactly this problem happened with the ncr driver in 1.3.2, and since
the ncr driver still deteced a 875-based DC390U (with only the narrow
interface usable on the card) as a wide card.
See kern/6849
I was just wondering if this might also happen with siop, since this
driver, too, detects a "wide" scsi card.
Admittedly, it's a wide-capable chip, but the card itself does not
have a wide interface.
