I have a WDSCS-ATS VersStak Host Adapter.  I imagine it's great for
controlling SCSI devices that allow random access and have a fixed block
size (like a disk drive) but my tape drive has neither.  You can either
use the extended BIOS via int 13h (which only talks to random access/
fixed block devices) or toggle the lines on the SCSI bus yourself.

I want an "intelligent" SCSI card that will allow me to send commands
out to a SCSI device and retrieve the results without having to program
the whole dang SCSI bus protocol.

Any information would be appreciated.
