That thing looks very simple probably on the USB bus:


root hub
        device hub (internal)
                externally available 4 ports hub
                externally available 7 ports hub
                modem
                serial port
                parallel port
                etc.

PCI and CardBus to USB. Any one having seen a ISA or PCMCIA variant,
please let me know.

USB->SCSI: E-Shuttle from Microtech / Shuttle or in the Iomega Zip drive
