Send them to me? :-)

Maybe, no, and no.

PCI cards will be no help, since the U1 and U2 are SBus machines.
IDE for the SBus may exist, though I've never seen nor heard of such.

IDE-to-SCSI converters may exist, but they'd be a lot more than a
special cable; the protocols are sufficiently different that you would
need nontrivial intelligence in the converter.
