I want to build a modern PC with a bunch of older drives, mostly ATAPI: ZIP, LS-120, etc.
Due to shortage of conventional PCI slots, I want them all controlled by a single card.
There's plenty of PCI controllers with many PATA ports, up to 12 even, like 3Ware Escalade 7500 or Promise SuperTrak SX6000, but they are designed for RAID and only support HDDs, not ATAPI devices.
So, the question: anybody knows of such a controller with ATAPI support?
