if it wasn't a laptop, I'd suggest looking for a NCR/Symbios/LSI based
SCSI card with a 53c8xx chip, but I've only ever seen these on ISA and
PCI, never on expresscard or pcmcia
parallel SCSI was long dead when pci-express came out, and expresscard
is based on PCI-E, so the odds of finding anything there are really slim
... and cardbus/pcmcia has been dead for several years.
