<OMTI (SMS) and ADAPTEC made quite a few of these SCSI-HOST to MFM or RLL

And Xybec.

I have the following:

 Adaptec 4070 SCSI to RLL, use that with a quantum D540.
 Xybec 14xx in a CP/M system (SB180, with SCSI adaptor) (miniscibe 3.5"mfm)
 DEC TK50Z SCSI to DEC TK50 DLT tape on a Microvax VIA CMD200 scsi card.

All work with minimal setup.
