The only (and best) answer I got was from Al Hopper:

>Given the cost of the MIA, consider a 2200 series Qlogic card from Ebay

>~$300+.  In other words - for less than the cost of an MIA.

Thanks, Al - this was exactly what I needed to know.  Hopefully the 
Interphase cards I picked up for $9 each on eBay might work..
