You can fiddle with firewire to SCSI converters, though I believe they
only run one device at a time. USB is very slow, though you may have
usb2. Personally, I'd just install a SCSI card. It would probably work
the best and be the cheapest solution.

PS: Is this Christmas in May? ;-) Sounds like a very nice box. You may
just want to forget using the old PC as a print server, unless you don't
mind running a second PC. I just use an Axis server. One box drives two
printers and it requires no attention.
