How about a Sonnet SATA card? It'll boot OS 9. If you really want an
external you can add an eSATA adapter. You can easily get an external case
with eSATA and USB or FW so you could easily move data to another machine.
New SATA drives ate cheap enough, they're almost giving away small used
You should also be able to use SCSI II as well. 68-pin to 50-pin
conversion adapters will work. I have used these successfully on a
9600/350 with an ATTO card, but also use almost any SCSI with an adapter
to 50pin.
I've used them with a Quadra 650 as well. The PCI ATTO card will also
work

Also, IIRC there WAS a line of MDD 1.25 systems that were released after the
G5 came out that did boot in OS 9, released in response to the demands of a
lot of BIG customers using (IIRC) mostly Quark Express.
Rule of thumb: Power Mac G4 with FW400 can boot OS 9; FW800 cannot.
This doesn't
