It must plug into a board that would normally be the mobo, it has the things to fasten it to the case

(like how a gfx card is connected)

tbh the smallest type of motherboard you'd find is a itx motherboard, that card is like an add-on for a server or something similar, and just looking through the website its connecting to a isa+pci bus to connect to the system. pretty old stuff compared to a small motherboard.
how small does the board have to be?

Sorry on the slow reply!!

I read somewhere that there were 3.5in motherboards and stuff, is that just a farce? If not, that would rock.

And the ones with the pines, which plug into a motherboard then, can they be used on their own?
