I use an Adaptec 1480A SlimSCSI card, works great with 3 different Dell
notebooks and an IBM ThinkPad.

Definitely spring for the extra cash on the 1480 over the other ones.  It
has the largest list of supported peripherals and can support more than 2
devices (some of the other SCSI cards only support 2 peripherals and are
limited in what they do support.)  It is also Ultra SCSI (80MB/s) so you are
set for the future.  I have a scanner, CDRW, DAT, HD and Zip attached to
mine.

You can find the enclosures at
