Problem is that the Sider is actually a SASI mechanism.  SASI was a
standard that predated and eventually became SCSI.  SASI stands for
Shugart Associates Standard Interface.  You cannot find replacement SASI
drives any longer.  You are better off scrapping it.  I used an old SIDER
case to house a SCSI mechanism.  The power supply was useable.
