I highly recommend this route. It was (in terms of price/payoff) the
best upgrade I ever made for my Quicksilver. Given that the Quicksilver
has better stock IDE than the Digital Audio, I suspect it'd be an even
nicer upgrade.
Also, any drives you invest will be useful on a G5 or Core 2 Duo system,
should you want to upgrade later.
OS X will, of course, DTRT without any prodding whatsoever.
