(Why is this in "hardware" and not "scsi"?)

 * Do you mean "Ultra-SCSI" or "ultra-wide-SCSI"?  C. Bowman indicates
 * ultra-wide, and you seem to support that but then refer to only
 * "ultra".

"Ultra" is for max. sync frequency (20MHz vs. 10MHz for "fast") and
"wide" is for bus width (16 bits vs 8 bits for "narrow").  Multiply
them to get the max. transfer rate.

We have had "wide" support for years, and although I don't own a
875-based card, I don't think Stefan dropped 16 bit support just
now. :)
