People constantly say that the best inexpensive PCI SCSI busmastering
cards are those using the NCR 53C810 (or whatever the part number is),
but even there, your're best advised to buy an original NCR card:
Symbios Logic PCI Host Bus Adapter SYM8150S (with BIOS)
or SYM8100S (without BIOS, for MBs
with the SDMS bios)
NCR Microelectronics is now independant:
Symbios Logic 1-800-334-5454

I called them, and they'll be happy to tell you who handles them in your
area. In my case it was a convoluted thing done through my company (I
should've asked for more numbers). I'm sure it'll be easier for the rest
of you.
