How might I do this? I can get a PCI to SCSI card, but can't find a
simple SATA to SCSI enclosure.
Presumably you mean SCSI to SATA. SCSI interface, SATA drives?
Why does it have to be that way? SCSI enclosures are a dime a dozen
and by the time you track down a hybrid you will not save any money.
Just go SCSI.
The first google hit I found was http://www.bixnet.com/exscsi3hardr.html
Or you can DIY

(Sata allows for fairly long cables).
My Dell has only SATA internal connectors(5). I don't have a scsi HD,
only an extra SATA internal that I can't mount internally.
I will probably end up running a SATA data cable through my computer
case to provide an external SATA connection. That way I won't use my
last PCI slot for an external SATA connection, as in the DYI article. I
have also located a relatively inexpensive SATA enclosure that has SATA
output. I should be able to use this and not need to modify a scsi
enclosure.
