Various places in the shopper sell the NCR53C810 based card for $65-$90, but
almost none list it as such.  Most just list 'PCI SCSI2 controller'; if you
see such a listing in that price range, it is almost certainly the NCR.  I
got mine from an ad in the shopper from a place called IDER for $70; I think
for $129 they offer the NCR53C825 -- fast wide SCSI2.
