For SCSI, try either the Asus SC200 SCSI adapter (if you have relatively new, bug-free SCSI drives), or the Adaptec AHA2940. Try to get at least a Pentium (you can use a 486, but those are falling behind the times a bit.) Of course if you get a 486, try to go with PCI, so when you upgrade, then you won't have to throw out any VLB cards. The article number is NOT the same on every system, so I can't easily refer to it.
