HBA cards on older FreeBSD's

PCI Express 1x HBA for parallel SCSI in Openserver 6

I'm floundering here trying to locate a PCI-E 1x HBA that will support an external tape drive in SCO Openserver 6. I was unable to find anything that would work in the compatible hardware list and a call to Adaptec confirmed that PCI-X would've been a better option for the risers in the Dell 2950...

HBA_RefreshInformation(3HBAAPI) 	      Common Fibre Channel HBA Information Library Functions		   HBA_RefreshInformation(3HBAAPI)

NAME

       HBA_RefreshInformation, HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration - refresh information for a specific HBA

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lHBAAPI [ library... ]
       #include <hbaapi.h>

       void HBA_RefreshInformation(HBA_HANDLE handle);

       void HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration(void);

PARAMETERS

       handle	       an open handle returned from HBA_OpenAdapter(3HBAAPI)

DESCRIPTION

       The HBA_RefreshInformation() function requests that the underlying VSL reload all information about the given HBA.  This function should be
       called whenever any function returns HBA_STATUS_ERROR_STALE_DATA, or if an index that was previously valid  returns  HBA_STATUS_ERROR_ILLE-
       GAL_INDEX. Because the underlying VSL can reset all indexes relating to the HBA, all old index values must be discarded by the caller.

       The  HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration() function updates information about the HBAs present on the system. This function does not change any
       of the relationships between the HBA API and adapters that have not been reconfigured.  HBA handles continue to refer to the same HBA  even
       if  it  is  no longer installed. The HBA name or index assigned by the library remains assigned to the same HBA even if it has been removed
       and reinstalled, as long as the bus position, WWN, and OS device have not changed. Adapter that have been removed and not  replaced  cannot
       have their HBA handles, HBA names, and HBA indexes reassigned. Calls to these adapters will generate HBA_STATUS_ERROR_UNAVAILABLE.
