I have been very pleased with the Adaptec 1542b under SCO
Unix.  Quite fast, well supported and inexpensive.  The one
caveat is that some machines (e.g.  Zenith ISA-bus
machines) can't handle the way it does bus-mastering.
N.B. - If you have an Adaptec, you just *gotta* have 
SCSICNTL.EXE.  Don't leave home without it...

Ciprico has an intellegent SCSI card that looks like it
would be *very* fast, and has Unix drivers, but I've never
used it and I don't know of anyone who has.  Oh, and it
costs big $$$.
