If you just want a cheap SCSI card for your CD-ROM, then the Symbios 810 is probably your best choice. I don't have one, but it's often recommended here. It has no bios, so you can't boot from it, but that shouldn't matter. You can get it on the net for about $70. I think TC Computer's has the ASUS SC-200 (which is the 810) for about that. I've no affliation with TC Computer's, and in fact never ordered from them. I bought a 2940U, and am happy with it, but it's ~$180 (no kit). Paul.
