IIRC, my Adaptec 2930 was right around $100 at Best Buy.  It is has
internal and external narrow (8-bit) Ultra or Ultra-2 interfaces (I
can't remember which it was off the top of my head)

I really wish the drives were cheaper, though.  3 times as much for the
same amount of storage is just nuts!  Western Digital getting out of
that market (apparently 'Enterprise' == SCSI) isn't going to help
things..
