I've got an NCR53c825 that has worked splendidly since I got it last
year, with a Mustek scanner, SyQuest EZFlyer drive, and an old 2x
Macintosh SCSI CD drive. NCR cards are inexpensive ($53 for an NCR53c810
fast SCSI-II from www.swt.com (see Linux Journal ad)) and perform quite
well. The driver has proven stable and reliable for me. They're worth a
look.
