Finding suitable or any useful IDE/ATA (PATA) size has been a problem over several years.
Even the use of narrow availability SSD of this specific technology has become rarer still.
Other drive adapters, do not work. Or cannot fit the space allocated, for a special version
that may be able to work, in desktop PPC Mac. ~ Other builds are scarce as unobtainium.

I've searched a few years for the authentic parts, lastly from OWC for PPC, in PB & iBook.
Nearly four years ago, they should have offered bounty; that rare and significant of loss.
Those authentic PPC power batteries had been available from newertech/OWC online;
I'd bought one of the last available. My iBook G4 12-inch mid-2005 was also last build.
(From Apple refurbished online, batteries were covered under 2006 recall, back then.)
Knowing some third-party replacement batteries are awful, only hope is to locate source
who may be held accountable; with a guarantee. Sources may include walmart 'online.'
Many of those are not held in stock, or supplies come from other vendors. Hard to follow.
Sorry to say these are harder to keep going. Specs could be researched from online sources.
Former places to check for stock used to include ifixit or powerbookmedic; headgap, etc.
Replacement drives may be refurbished or of marginal quality; largest ATA/IDE HDDs were
larger than 200GB. My G4 Mac Mini (1.5GHz) last model, could use same physical size PATA
as PowerBook/iBook G4. Mine runs Leopard. Harder to get mechanical rotational HDDs, too.
Sources closer to third-party new stock replacement makers, in Asia? Maybe. And batteries
are colder trail. I've suggested those who know how to refurbish internal cells and re-use
those circuits inside original battery cases from Apple.. that may be worth the adventure.
Some older product users may have hints or practical leads to check; to restore these models.
Good luck & happy computing!🌻🐝
