A bit late in the game, but this being usenet...

Have you thought of getting an msata - ide adapter and an msata ssd, and
put an emergency system installation on it? That would save you throwing
in spinning rust after a failure, it would be a lot faster, and, hanging
off the built-in ide, it would even be available in target disk mode.

I have a remotely similar case where an Atto nubus scsi adapter in a
Quadra 650 will not flush dirty buffers on reset, leaving the system
volume unbootable. The fallback is a minimal Macintosh System
installation on a different partition, from which I will have to run
DiskWarrior (highly recommended) to fix the main boot volume.

Cheerio,
Hauke
