Not quite the same thing, but years and years ago, there was someone
who was trying to build a Qbus IDE interface. (I know about it because
I was working on NetBSD kernel code to talk to it.)
At least two of these were completed and documented -- Chuck Dickman's,
and Dmitry Pryanishnikov's.

I'm surely not the only collector who would be willing to pony up
some $$$ for such a project....
It never went anywhere as far as I could tell. I never saw the
hardware and don't know whether the issues I was seeing were hardware
bugs or me being confused or what. I don't know whether the person got
busy with other things or fed up with my not producing working code or
what, but it sure would have been nice.
