I have a couple of items that may fit your request:

ACard – AEC6280M, PCI Ultra ATA/133 IDE Adaptor/Controller card. Extends 
GB capacity beyond 120GB in G4s. With Manual, Support CD, IDE Cable, 
Y-split Power cord, Screw x4, Hard disk mounting kit. I still have the 
original box.

I used this card on a G4 MDD, 1.25GHz, OS10.4.x and 10.5.x, two 300GB 
HDs without a problem.

RAM from Crucial, 512MB, 168-pin DIMM, 64M x 64 SDRAM  PC133 non parity 
for MAC G4 Quicksilver 2002 dual processor.

IDE cable connectors: 24 inch Ultra ATA IDE ribbon cable, 3 connector 
(80 pin) and 20 inch Ultra ATA IDE ribbon cable, 3 connector (80 pin).

Feel free to contact me off line if interested. All items have been used 
and work. Reasonable.
