I'm going to purchase a SCSI controller for my A500 Real Soon Now.
(I've already got a SCSI drive & power supply; just need a card now!)

I would like to know:

1.  What controller boards are available?
    Mostly, I'm looking for inexpensive ones.  I know only of boards
    by C-Ltd and Supra (both <$200).

2.  What features do they have?
    Autoboot?  DMA?  Speed?  (Price?)

3.  Are there any bad experiences you've had that I should know about?

Could someone either mail me info about what they have or perhaps point
me to some good sources of info on this?  Thanks in advance.

If I get a substantial enough reply, I'll post a summary.
