There used to be a guy selling single FCAL copper adapters on ebay,
basically a tiny backplane, for about $15 IIRC. These were without
a cage, which he also sold separately. He promoted them for bench-testing
drives and for interfacing single drives to PCs as this was after the
bubble burst and ebay was flooded with FC drives.

I never bought one as I preferred the cheap Dell Storage Vault enclosures
that were plentiful for quite some time, and I haven't searched for them
for a few years.
