java.sun.com provides a tool to find drivers for a
specific database at
http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers

Also www.freetds.org is an open source implementation
of the tabular data stream and provides a type 4
driver.  However, the last time I reviewed the product
character strings were getting truncated at 255 chars
(a problem with several jdbc drivers, including the
jdbc-odbc bridge).

I also noticed that microsoft has finally started to
offer a JDBC driver itself.  Looks like it is still in
beta, but might be worth a shot -
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/jdbc.asp

I hope this helps!
