I have one or two drives like that,  with nothing but the 80-pin connector,  
and the last time I looked (not at all recently) there seemed to be quite a 
number of them offered as surplus.  However,  the adapters I was finding 
online at that point in time were priced in such a way to make those drives 
not a very good deal...

At some point perhaps I'll luck out and get a hold of a box that's set up for 
those drives,  or something.
