The only reference I could find in drivers/scsi directory to
"ultra 160" was in aic7xxx.c :

"Adaptec AIC-7892 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter",     /* AIC_7892 */
"Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter",     /* AIC_7899 */

Adaptec made an announcement recently about Linux support for
Ultra 160 (for the IA-64):

Doug Ledford maintains the aic7xxx driver (although there 
is no entry in the MAINTAINERS noting this in 2.3.99-pre2). See:
