Here is a list of some of the popular SCSI adapter cards and my personal recommendations. Future Domain TMC-830 8 Bit SCSI adapter with MS-DOS, Xenix and Novell Support. Cheap adapter with resonable performance. Costs about 125.00 with software. Adaptec AHA-1540 16 Bit SCSI Adapter with MS-DOS, Xenix and Novell Support. This IS the highest performance adapter on the market today. Tandy sells it for 299.00. Which is the cheapest I have seen the board go for. Western Digital WD7000-ASC 16 Bit SCSI Adapter with MS-DOS, Novell and Xenix is RSN. Slightly slower than the Adaptec board, for about the same price. There are others, but these companies have the widest support. If you are cost sensitive, then the Future Domain product fits. If you are performance sensitive, then the Adaptec board looks good. All the above products are very reliable and have very good support in the industry.
