S3 / Diamond has not made Fireport's for some time, however, they
are not rare. There must have been warehouses full of them. A good
cheap choice for ultra-wide support, but don't expect driver updates.
For 8 bit devices like CD-R I really like the Iomega Jazz someone
donated to me. Easy install, NT support, and PCI format (plug and
play).
==========
Don't get a Fireport - *zero* Windows 2000 support, zero support from
Diamond (you can't even download drivers from their site now). In addition,
the chipset is a Symbios chipset, but "altered" enough that reference
drivers may not work right.
I'd try real hard to stay with Adaptec, Symbios or Mylex.
A lot of cheap scsi cards are still ISA format, although as David points
out they would probably work.
===========
Just realize that ISA cards _may_ cause problems in a plug n' play system.
