PCPC (the outfit that makes the MacBottom drives) has a product called 
HD20-WSI that is a replacement interface board for a serial HD20.  I ordered
one (direct from them, since I could find no (reputable or otherwise)
mailorder house that stocked it or would even order it.  Someone else posted
something here a while back (in response to my query) with some benchmarks
which indicated that it was even faster than the Apple HD20 SC (which is not
really saying much).

The suggested list is $195.

I'll post something here when it shows up and I get it up.
