My box isn't SCSI either. 
FWIW, I have a wangtek SCSI tape drive, it came with an adapter card for
ISA, and it works fine. Just go on and ask for a tape drive and see that
it works on a non-SCSI box; internal drives are cheaper.
Also avoid parallel port drives (I haven't heard of any of those working
in FreeBSD).
hope that helps,

Pedro.
