Good question. I put my old drive in a FireWire external. Works great, both
in OSX 9 & X. Here is the one I got (actually I have two of them), although
I paid $46 for mine and now they're down to just $36.
 

The only issue I have is the cable length. It's 6 foot long but I use it
just inches from my iBook so I have this big coil next to me which is always
in the way. Does anybody know of a short cable I can get, maybe 6-12 inches?

I care.  How are you going to dump your present disk onto it?  Are you going
to put your present internal drive into a case and use it as a secondary
device?
I assume you have a pismo.

Just an FYI if anyone cares. :-)

I ordered the 40GB 4200rpm 9.5mm IBM hard drive for my powerbook 
firewire/pismo from newegg.com. Total was $144 shipped.
