It is important to pick a SCSI controller carefully. Many cheap ISA
SCSI controllers are designed to drive CD-ROM's rather than anything
else. Such low end SCSI controllers are no better than IDE. See the
SCSI HOWTO and look at performance figures before buying a SCSI
card.
- AMI Fast Disk VLB/EISA (BusLogic compatible)
- Adaptec AVA-1502E (ISA/VLB) (AIC-6360). Use the AHA-152x driver
