You can do this.  SCSI is essentially a very short peer-to-peer network
(at least on the lower levels) and so there is not any requirement that
the SHA be wide to connect a wide drive.  Of course, the drive will take a
performance hit for this....

You will get wide performance bwtween any two wide devices on a wide
cable, narrow performance in all other instances.
