Any good cheap SCSI card recommendations?

[CooMarlin 0]

My Advansys ABP 5140 ISA card will not function properly in Win2K. I'd like to replace it with a Win2K compatable PCI SCSI card. The only thing I need it for is my Panasonic CD Burner so I definately want to do it as cheaply as possible. Any recommendations? I saw the Tekram DC 315U PCI SCSI card that has win2K support for only $18. Anyone have any experience with this card? Apparently its much better than the DC 310 from the days of old.

The Adaptec 2920, or current equivalant is usually about 100 bucks.

Thanks for the suggestion. To be honest, money is pretty tight right now and I'd hate to spend $100 for a SCSI card that only needs to operate a CD-R. I don't need a card that has a bios or is bootable anything. I just need a cheap 50pin SCSI card that has zero win2K issues. I'd love to get an adaptec, but in all honesty it's probably overkill. I was quite happy with my lowly ABP 5140 ISA card in Win '98. Never gave me a bit of problems. Unfortunately win2K won't see my CD-r if I use that card. Thanks.

I use a Tekram 390F that I paid about $60 US for. I use it exclusively for my Plextor 32x reader and my Plextor 4x CDR. Works great and it is natively supported by Win2k.

Any Initio based cards will do.

You can get them for as little as $20 and Win2k supports them right out of the box.

I've got an Advansys PCI SCSI card, can't find the model number right now, but I remember it cost about $30 from buy.com.

 

I use it under W2K to run a Yamaha CD Burner, and a Pioneer DVDROM drive. Works perfectly.

Thanks for all of your suggestions guys. I ended up going with the Tekram DC 315U PCI SCSI. $18. Supposedly it works fine with Win2K. I'll let you know if it doesn't. Thanks.
