If you can't buy new, buy used.  Praying to your keyboard will get you 
nowhere!  Since you have a SCSI controller, you should be able to add at 
least five additional devices.  Keep an eye on the market at e-Bay.

Anything much smaller than 18GB is probably old enough that it should be 
in a museum!
