Get the Tekram DC390W (53c825A based) or go 
for the Ultra-WIDE DC390F (53c875 based).

They seem to cost some $100 for the WIDE and
$150 for the Ultra-WIDE card, and seem to be
very high quality, including a BIOS setup as
known from Adaptec cards. The NCR driver will
soon know how to parse the card's NVRAM, and
this will make it possible to configure tags,
sync. rate and other options.
