I purchased an Adaptec ACB4000a brand new for $60 from a computer shopper
mail order house last year.  The board didn't have any docs, but I got those
from adaptec for $5.  Not very fast but it did the job with numerous disks
for about a year.  I haven't used it since I got a SCSI disk, but I won't part
with it.  Look around you should be able to find them readily for < $100.
