This is not true. Your narrow devices will simply see that they are not
selected when one of the wide devices on address 8 and up is selected,
and ignore it. As long as you keep your adapter on a low address, all
will be well (unless you want to initiate direct transfers between two
devices, but if you're doing that, you know what you're doing anyway).
So, using wide devices on addresses 8 and up is NOT a problem, even if
you use narrow devices as well.
