So, now I know.  So the list is:
Adaptec 4000    - good if cheap and you don't want to use Bernoulli's
Adaptec 4000A   - the currently popular board
Adaptec 4070    - if you KNOW that your media is good enough to withstand
                  the extra rigours of RLL

That I can do.  This is the "ICDFMT.DAT" file from ICD, which lists all
drives that ICD has used with their host adaptors and software.  The
parameter fields are number of heads, number of cylinders, cylinder at
which to use reduced write current, cylinder at which to start using
write precompensation, landing zone cylinder, and style of step-rate to
use.  How it's of some use.  I also have a (hard-copy) list of supported
drives from Berkeley Microsystems with more drive parameters.
