the IN2000 scsi adaptor by Always Technology was designed to work
with other controllers.  I had no problem using with a MFM at least.
I've never tried it with a IDE though.

You can call Always' tech support at 818-597-9595

Another route would be to buy a printer port adapter.  Always
makes one, and Trantor came out with them first.  I don't
know what kind of performance hits you take though.
