That's most certainly parallel SCSI; it has connectors for both 8- and
16-bit wide buses internally.

The ISP1080 (I think you mentioned your board is ISP1080-based) is a
pretty common PCI to SCSI host adapter chip. Nearly all of the required
circuitry is on that chip.
What Gregg was looking for was, I think, something from the Adaptec

Mine are pretty much like those, except the internal connector is parallel, they work with VMS, and they're not parallel SCSI inside.

I probably have twenty of those. If you can't score one from Cory,
let me know and I'll put one on your "care package" pile. (I'll get to
that soon, I promise!)
