Where does one buy a drive enclosure that has an MFM to USB controller interface?

Putting his old hard drive into a working PC of that era. is. a likelier solution.It will require someone to understand how to select drives in the old BIOS screen.Not impossible though rather few except hardcore hobbyists and recovery services may have such a computer still working

Do you understand the difference between MFM and IDE drives?
I am asking seriously.
My hoard has old computers with MFM and another type I forget as well, as SCSI.They predate IDE and I have not seen an external box that didn’t require a controller card specific to those drives. Nor seen such a box for decades.I am curious who still makes one.
