In general, the alpha SRMs have had good support for LSI chips and bad
support for adaptec ones. Any reasonably standard LSI-based card should
do just fine. I got a 64bit 33MHz Ultra160 single-channel one, 58C1010
chip or something like that, for my 164LX board.

From a practical standpoint, I like the way SRM has not supported
adaptec cards as much, because they almost as a rule cost significantly
more than quite equivalent cards of the same spec from other
manufacturers.
