I use a Procomm Technologies microchannel SCSI enabler, and have had no 
problems at all with it... it runs nicely, and response is fast even tho'
my SCSI drive is one of the older slow varieties. I'm not sure, though,
what the current retail for them are.. I do know their sales staff can
be reached at 1-800-800-8600 (sorry, don't have a non-800 number for 
non-US types). The controller is a 16 bit non-cached adapter, with 
internal and external connectors, and can support the normal 7 devices on
the chain. Drivers for DOS, OS/2, novell and SYTOS are included.
