A PCI Express SATA II card with 4 ports can be bought pretty cheaply. PCI SATA
cards can be found for around $15 for SATA 1.0 and a bit higher for SATA II,
but they'll bottleneck SATA II devices.
Found something I thought would never exist, and it's at a totally not stupidly
insane price, 2 and 4 port USB 3.0 cards for PCI. Seriously? Just ONE USB 3.0
port with a decently fast drive connected would be more than the PCI bus can
handle, but Newegg has a 2 port for $47 and a 4 port for $65. Why would a
company make something that pointless but not a dual USB-C port ExpressCard for
laptops? ExpressCard has PCI Express x1 and there are tons of dual port USB-C
PCIe x1 cards for desktops.

It will be some time before I get back to this. My old MB only has two
SATA connections. One is a DVD. I have been physically changing disk
drives to get a usable system or to test buster. I damaged a cable
today, my last spare...
I have wheezy on one disk and buster on another. Today I tried putting
wheezy as the boot drive and buster in place of the DVD connection.
Boot OK. Update-grub failed. Seems that wheezy can not read the buster
disk. Metadata checksum problem. I want wheezy to be the default boot.
When I get time, I will reverse the disk drives and see if buster can
read the wheezy disk.
