Haven't they made 3 1/2 to 5 1/4 rails for lo, these many years?
I have a box full of WD 103 controller cards somewhere...just not sure
where. I _do_ know where my ISA IDE cards are.
...but where are these supposed to be sent?

Yes; but then I'd have to ship the controller cards as well. These only
have the 5 1/2" (or whatever) drivebays; the ones that fit the XTs; etc.
I
think that they're half-height.
