$150!!!  What the...

Why don't you just purchase a IIe that has a 3.5" drive.  Check csa2
and csa2 marketplace.

You could probably find one for $20, plus a little more for the
3.5" drive.

If you still have a IIe, you can probably pick up a controller card
for next to nothing and find a Mac person throwing out a 3.5"
drive for $5 or less.
