Sooo... hopefully i put this in the right spot!

I have a G4/400 runnin 10.3.9 desktop that really is only a print server/peripheral manager. I just bought a IDE 500G hard drive that i put in an old firewire enclosure.
I also have an SATA external drive, I think its 250G. One of those "MyBooks" (which i cant stand actually, its sooo sloow) that i yanked the HD out of.

Now the fun part...
A) Is there such a thing as a Raid Enclosure that could handle the 2 different kinds of drives?
B) My new 500G doesn't give me all 500G, so its recommended that i buy a controller card ( ATA/100, I believe) to get the full 500G out of it.

What would be my best option here...or is there something else i can do to get
all this stuff together in one pretty package and fully functional?
