Don't overlook things like PC sound cards--some had SCSI adapters built on
for CD drives.  Old Bernoilli and scanner adapters are anohter sounce,
assuming that you can find drivers for all of these--you need only get as
far as ASPI support if you don't want to boot the drives.  There are
ASPI-interfaced general purpose drivers and utilities to go the rest of the
way.

A clue to finding drivers is to locate the SCSI LSI chip.  The Trantor
T130, for example, has an NCR 53C400.
