If you've got a mac with a pci-e slot, you can get a pci-e card off ebay and an appropriate stack of adapters to go from a modern wide cable to whatever you need? If you don't have a mac with a pci-e slot, borrow a desktop pc with a slot and go from there? If you borrow an old enough desktop with PCI you might be able to get an older scsi controller and skip a few chains in the cable adapter path.

Or using the bluescsi initiator mode to make a disk image seems not too badly priced either.

I don't. One option I am considering a Thunberbold-to-PCI card expander, with a SCSI HBA card supported by or for MacOS...

This would be my recommendation as well. I use one for a 4k video card to go to external monitor. This specific card had people chatting on forums that it didn't work on M-series chips. I'm still on the last Mactel MBP, so it worked fine for me.

In the past, I've run other expanders specifically for SCSI devices mainly JBOD RAID enclosures. ATTO was the brand that we relied on. Couldn't remember the specific HBA though. Too many everything since now and then
