Yeah, I have a few of those left over from an AlphaServer 2100 build......
parallel SCSI was long dead when pci-express came out, and expresscard
is based on PCI-E, so the odds of finding anything there are really
slim ... and cardbus/pcmcia has been dead for several years.
Hmm, this does give me an idea. There are 'bridge boxes' out there that
will take an ExpressCard slot and give you a couple of PCI or PCIe
slots; I do have an Adaptec U320 PCIe x1 controller here along with
several PCI SCSI cards of various types, and one of these bridge
boxes/bus extenders might serve the purpose. Thanks, John, you gave me
an idea.....
