From the original message:
sd0 at scsibus2 targ 0 lun 0: <MICROP, 3387WS, x43h> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd0(ncr1:0:0): WIDE SCSI (16 bit) enabled
sd0(ncr1:0:0): 20.0 MB/s (100 ns, offset 15)

Like it says, that's 20.0 MBytes/second... 100ns is 10MHz. If it were
actually running in Ultra/Wide, it'd say 40.0 MB/s (50 ns, offset
[something]).
