Before going down a more complicated path, I'd just add the little
diode to the card and call it a day.  It involves nothing more than
identifying (from a good description and a _picture_!) two points
on the card about an inch apart, then soldering the two ends of
a diode to these two points.

Viola!  A High-Speed SCSI card that supplies term power!
Worth more to a user than a card without term power, and who
cares about collectors.  (They aren't bidding SCSI cards up
anyway--it's the folks who want hard disks who are bidding.)
