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).
A lot of cheap scsi cards are still ISA format, although as David points
out they would probably work.

Even a lowly SCSI-1 controller should offer more than enough throughput to
support a CD-RW burn.

Traditionally, however, *good* SCSI cards have rarely been *cheap*.
I usually recommend Adaptec for quality or Diamond's FirePort for
price -- but I believe the latter are no longer made.
