I've got the Adaptec PcCard adapter, which seems to work well. Strength- it's pretty fast. However, this card does not support a start/boot-up drive, and it uses high-density 50-pin connection, not the standard 25-pin nor the 50-pin centronics. Therefore, for your older drives/peripherals, you will need to buy an adapter cable. This card works great with my Orb drive.
