SCSI Card for DLT Drive on Proliant DL380 G4

Hi Experts;

I have a Proliant DL380 G4 that I would like to hang an old DLT 4 drive off of for Exhcange 2003 backups.  I thought I had everything I needed, but it turns out my AHA2940UW card is PCI.  And my server has the PCI-X.  

My question is:  Do you know of a PCI-X SCSI controller card that has the same 50 pin HD D-Sub (HD-50)?  I have an old DLT4 drive that has a slower bus, and don't want to spend a lot of money on a new cable.

See that's the thing.  Your card has a 68 pin external.  Are there 68 pin to 50 pin converters available?  

To clarify:  I need a 50 Pin external connection.

Yes they do, try the following

Thanks for the info.  This looks like my best option.  At least this way, I'm not buying a card that is already obsolete.
