No. It does not seem to.

Yes- the ide setup should be faster.

I have the VST and it has worked flawlessly for me in 9.1, 9.2 and OS 
X.  I even removed my old SCSI drive. I've partitioned my Maxtor 15 G 
drive for OS X, Classic (9.2), and 9.1.
Given the limitations of our older machines I think the VST card is the 
best buy. It does conflict with some PCI configurations, but it has very 
good ATAPI support so you can run a cheap cd-rw as well as cheap IDE 
drives.
