The part you want, and I have one in use, in a DEC Multia, is the ADTX
A363001.  The following companies appear to have them in stock, though
the first is asking $150.

You can also find these (rarely) on eBay, or more commonly, look for a
750mb or larger 12mm 2.5" parallel SCSI HDD.  Every one that I have
ever seen is actually a 9.5mm IDE disk, with the ADTX (or similar)
bridge attached, including the ones that Apple sold for their
PowerBooks.

The devices work well, though I'm told that there's an 8gb limit on
bridged disks.

Good luck!
