I recommend a Syba card. You can see their current products at
http://www.syba.com/Default/En and then google-shop. I use a model
SD-SA2PEX-2IR PCI-Express to SATA II for two drives (I'm assuming there
is a PCI-X bus), which many online vendors stock. Inexpensive as
things go.

Correction: PCI-X, not X16.
