You mean like this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6705VF3748&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Accessories+-+General-_-9SIA6705VF3748&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs6Kencq_1wIVUzaBCh2iZw-EEAQYAyABEgKPcvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds <https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6705VF3748&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Accessories+-+General-_-9SIA6705VF3748&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs6Kencq_1wIVUzaBCh2iZw-EEAQYAyABEgKPcvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds>

$6.62 SD to IDE adapter.

Looks pretty “functional” to me… These adapter are quite common and readily available.
