Astro Pete will sell a single-axis drive for the EQ3 for $130 - see here:

There is also a dual-axis option available which he might be able to get in for you.

Note that this won't give you automatic Go-To functionality, so you still need to polar-align the mount manually, and find your targets manually, but once aligned, a single-axis motor drive will track nicely.

The prices on Astro Pete's site include the mount as listed in each case.
