It seems you should be able to get that to work in 160MB/s mode.  I did 
some searching in the archives of the -scsi list and found:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=5797+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-scsi/20000827.freebsd-scsi
and a follow up:  (note the dates, that's when 4.1 had just been 
released)
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=19537+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-scsi/20000827.freebsd-scsi

I saw other messages about cables being mislabled as being able to do 
160 mode, but actually only being able to do 80MB/s.  And one from 
Warner Losh recommending adaptec scsi 160 boards (the 19160 as a cheap 
one to be specific).
Just put this in for reference.
