Damn looks like you hit the jackpot. Nice setup. If you dont have os9 on it i recommend grabbing the instant daw images and you wont have any headaches. Just disable the driver for the audiophile card.

if you look on ebay they have pata ssd's. No conversion necessary. I saw last night a post for the pata ssd. They guy had tiger on it (10.4) but he said booting took about 30 sec.

Yes I have used a few ones, It is the best option, but not all models works well in Mac Os 9. Do a forum search about this.
It is better to buy a SATA SSD than a PATA SSD, because you can connect it using a SATA to PATA adaptor or directly using a SATA PCI Card.
