Host adapters for the Atari is a touchy subject.....
Some of the later embedded SCSI drives are too fast for older host 
adapters.
In gereral I have tested quite a few drives and found that Supra (08) 
series is the most compatable, it will handle just about every HD and 
SCSI type available.
Older versions of Supra are incompatable with faster embedded SCSI 
drives.
ICD will handle most of the HD's on the market but I was unsucessfull at
getting faster Maxtor 8000 series to work properly.
But in general , they are my second choice.
Both the Atari and Berkley systems work with slower controllers like teh
Adaptec and OMTI but they work poorly with faster type embedded SCSI 
drives!
In general Atari SH204 works fine with teh supplied HD, but if you plan 
on adding a second drive....WATCH OUT!
