Isn't that what used to be called a
'hardcard'? I've certainly seen ST506
controllers on a frame with a 3.5" ST506 drive, the whole thing plugging
into an ISA slot. I would be very suprised if it was never done with IDE
drives...
Plus Development manufactured a number of them under the name
'Hardcard'. As Iggy mentioned, any number of SCSI cards for the
Amiga also did similar things, as did various hard disks for the
Apple IIGS I believe. Mega-haus also provided some DIY kits so that
you could add your controller and drive to thier frame at one point
as well. I think that was geared towards the XT and Tandy 1000
owners that lacked the additional drive bays.
