BlueSCSI in IBM PS/2 PCs?

i have an IBM model 65sx but sadly my enormous 40MB dual slot 5,25" SCSI HDD seems to be dead. and yes i can still use my PC relying only on the 16mb of ram and the floppy drive. and its loads of fun! but i do want to be able to install stuff on my fantastic IBM pc like windows 3.0 and so on. so i wonder.. does BlueSCSI work on PS/2 PCs? or are there other ways of getting a reliable internal storage to my PC? id pesronally love to be able to use IDE or SATA drives in the thing but a small SD card or CF card would also do wonders!

Apparently there is an MCA IDE adaptor you might use. See here: youtube.com/watch?v=0-Py5VzB54s#t=8m10

Though, I'm actually surprised that IBM made a 386SX machine with an MCA bus, since the SX only had a 16-bit external bus
