Alan is right. Yet the problem with this approach is that the PCI SCSI
controllers you can buy used on eBay for peanuts
are often PCI. Some are 5V PCI cards. With some luck you can find a
3.3V PCI card.

But modern motherboards have replaced PCI with PCI'-Express.

In that case, your need to buy a PCI-Express SCSI adapter.
