Well, SCSI on Macs is slow anyway. *IF* you can get a firewire card I would go for that. I have a Macally FH-BUS2 and it does work under OS 9, I am sure there are others out there too but I did not see others on OWC's site when I checked.
How about you use this(OS 9 compatible):

and then grab one of those SATA-IDE adapters or something? OWC has them for 3.5" drives, you might be able to find an adapter to connect your 2.5" drive to one.
I am going to be quite blunt here. You are giving yourself huge headaches by not having real computers capable of real tasks. Even something as simple as any sort of Mac that can handle USB 2 would make your life so much easier.
Actually! What if you used Xpostfacto to boot off a Mac OS X10.3/10.4 CD.. (or just boot it off a 10.2 disc, that works natively) and used the USB card to clone the drives? Mac OS never seems to like to clone the boot drive anyway; at least as far as I generally end up finding.
*shrug*
Anyway, it is 01:30 here, I have to go.
