But other than that, virtually all modern drives should degrade
gracefully to whatever low speed the host adapter can do (even
async, narrow). Even mixing Ultra ("Fast20") and Fast speeds on
the same bus is ok, the only thing that will not work is LVD and
SE drives on the same bus, but all LVD drives that I know will also
do SE. It may be wise (if possible) to configure them to SE
explicitly, usually via a jumper.
