OH thank you. Well I might have to go for a ride then.
Thanks for the prompt reply.

They sell PCIe adapters for $5 to $10 that will work. May not be as fast as a native motherboard with a natural slot, but it should work. I don't know if you can boot with it, depends how old the BIOS is.

National Pretzel Day many pretzel places are offering deals or free pretzels. I got a free one from Auntie Anne’s, had to use the app for the deal.
