I am in the UK but might have what you want but shipping won't be cheap.
Does the SCSI card need to support booting in a PS/2?
I assume you wanted twisted ethernet? There is an AUI card on E-Bay Canada

Thanks, the Hackery asked I email them with a photo of my MCA slots. Waiting to hear back if they have adapters for me.

Thanks, a smidgen too much I'd say. 
I may not need a SCSI adapter if I can adapt the JAZ drive to parallel.
I may not need a SCSI adapter if I can adapt the JAZ drive to parallel.What your looking for is called IOMEGA Jaz Traveller Adapter. this will convert SCSI to Parallel Works pretty slick

Warning, Will Robinson! Warning!
What system do you have? Give us the Type-Model from the small recessed sticker on the front, usually below the power switch or on the lower front edge of the front bezel.
The 8570 and 8580 do NOT support configuration of the Fast/Wide (Corvette) or Differential F/W (Turbo Corvette) due to the age of the system BIOS. We think the F/W cards use POS registers in different ways than the initial ADF standard supports. IBM never released the updated version of ADF prowords. In short, it won't work.
16 bit systems can use it (386 and up) but you have sliced the bandwidth. Systems with on-board SCSI tend to boot from the planar SCSI, and that locks transfers to 5MHz, why, we don't know.
