you have lots of choices , first of i assume you got a 1200 though it same for 600
the onboard interface has 44 pins so the simple route would be to get a card that has 44hole conector on the under side so it fits horizontal to ya mother board.

the other optins require a lead be it 44 or 40 wire, I`m not certain without lookin but the 44pin ones don`t need extra power from a floppy adapter where as the 40 pin ones do, you also need a 44 to 40 pin cable if you go that route, lots of options

sorry no links but we here to help if you find any, its best to ask before you buy though the most expensive bit will be the cf card.
