Adaptec 2906.  Fast SCSI2, 10MB/s.  Fast enough for any burner.  I actually
have the Adaptec 2930 for my burner.  Ultra SCSI2, 20MB/s (I believe).  I
picked it up for $80 at Mwave about 9 months ago.  It's a dependable
controller for old SCSI drives, burners, CDROMs, and things of that sort.

The 2940U2W is a sweet card, but you don't need it if you're just going
with a burner.
