Ross , I thought someone might have weighed in with some advice by now but not so far. I don't know the answer to your question but if you go here http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/drivedb/search.drivedb.lasso and just select Interface type - "IDE Serial ATA PCI card" and Mac Model - MDD" Then click the search button, I get 5 results with all the info. Changing the Mac Model to "Apple Dual CPU " and hitting the search button again I get a lot more. Hopefully somewhere in there amongst all the posts you will be able to glean the right info.
