Looking for compatable SCSI laptop interface

Looking for a recommendation -- my Linux workstation died (power supply 
fried and took the mother board with it) and it was my backup server.  I 
have a SE SCSI tape drive (DLT-3) and a bunch of tapes with all my 
personal backups on them with no way to read them.

My laptop has USB 2 ports and a card interface -- has anyone come across 
a USB to SCSI converter that works with Linux or a card that does the 
same?  Fortunately I don't need anything urgently from the backups, but 
I'd like to start running them again soon.

I do have an old working SE SCSI card I can put in another tower with an 
available PCI slot, but I'm leaning towards getting another laptop if I 
can get the tapes working again.

Thanks in advance,

Richard Wilson
