I just ran across a thread today (2015) here: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/musi...-solution.html informative on audio recording.

and here is the other way PCIE to PCI bridge: https://www.amazon.com/PCI-Express-A.../dp/B0024CV3SA

There are many things you can do even though many so called experts say nay.
I knew there were converter gadgets like those, but I'd still be leery and every time something acted up I'd always suspect an adapter. In the early days of SATA I built my kid a machine, but it didn't have enough legacy IDE ports so I had to use a SATA to PATA adapter. While it did work, every time his computer did something weird I always wondered if some data got mangled by that adapter. Not long after building that machine, I got him a SATA drive.
