"Fast" Single Ended is 10Mhz bus timing and only allow 3m cable
(terminator to terminator).
Regular SE at 5Mhz allows 6m.
That's what sucks the most about SE SCSI: permitted cable length
is inverse to the bus frequencies. Differential (both LVD and HVD)
doesn't suffer this problem. IIRC, they start having limitations
on cable length or number of devices above 40Mhz but not
nearly as severe.

Where did this info come from?
I'm pretty sure it's wrong.
Ultra SE 1.5m cable @ 40MB/s when 16-bit wide.
Ultra2 can only do 40MB/s when running SE mode (like Ulra SE).
Ultra2 LVD can do 80MB/s (16-bit wide)
Ultra3 LVD == u160 == 160 MB/s
Ultra4 LVD == u320 == 320 MB/s
