I agree with Ben Myers. I would also recommend the Adaptec 1542. I
installed the 1542CF (ISA version -- the PCI version came out a week
later!!!!) in our P4D-66 a couple of years ago to run a SyQuest 88MB
removable drive and a Conner 4000 tape backup. It was a relatively
simple install and worked the first time. The software is exceedingly
adaptable to devices you want to connect. I could daisy chain 4
additional devices onto this card. Be sure you get the kit with the EZ
SCSI software. The whole package is well worth the price.
