I would recommend a SYM based controller (SYM53c810, 875 or 895, for
10 MByte/s, 40 or 80 respectively). Suppliers are for example Tekram,
ASUS, LSI Logic, etc.

I especially recommend the Tekram DC-390-U/F (Ultra/Wide SCSI PCI,
SYM53c875 based), and the U2W.

I had much less problems with SYM chips than with Adaptec, and in general,
the SYM based solutions are much cheaper, more reliable, and in some
cases faster. 

With the Adaptec you always have to find a later version of the aic7xxx
driver (even with very old designs such as the AHA2940UW, Adaptec changes
the BIOS format from time to time).
