Well, now that I have a kernel that supports it, the adaptec 2940 card
performs wonderfully. Its kinda expensive though. I think they are going
for around $200 nowadays. I personally have been telling folks to try to
find an adaptec 1540 which is a tried and true card with a centronics scsi
interface on the back which makes the cables cheaper and easier to find. Also
the 1540 card may be cheaper.
