I thought the Prosignias all used the NCR 53c8xx series chipsets ...

If not, you can get a generic 53c825 card for about $70.  Tyan Computers
http://www.tyan.com sells a nice one - the S1365 Yorktown PCI Fast &
Wide SCSI 3 - supports 7 fast and 7 wide devices.  Very nice controller,
and blazing fast.

If you don't mind spending more money, get a Buslogic.  There are
several models to choose from.
