MicroNet, the new company started by Charles McConathy, sells such kits.
They are made for SCSI drives, not ST-506, but they are low-cost and come
with UNIVERSAL power supplies, just like the SE and Mac II.

I haven't bought any of their stuff yet, but I will. Charles is the guy
who made CMS such a good Mac drive manufacturer, and I expect even better
stuff from his own company.
