I'm using Adaptec 2940UW that way.  I had to explicitly disable wide
negotiation in the bios for the narrow devices to get it to work.
Note that the 2940UW has both wide & narrow internal connectors but
only a wide external connector.  Fortunately, wide-->narrow connector
adapters seem to work.  (Also, you can use only 2 of the 3 connectors
at once.)
