One solution may be to use an Adaptec 4000 SCSI to ST506 board.  If you 
can figger out the connections & driver software, you should be able to
hook your MFM drive to the SCSI controller.  Is your drive a Micropolis?
(If so, that was a common setup in Sun II minicomputers - Adaptec 4000 &
a Micropolis 1325/1335...)
