Let me chime in here, please.

There are SSDs with IDE connectors.
There is an Austrian price checker portal with a good search function
http://geizhals.at/eu/?cat=hdssd
 From there you can make a refinement of your searches as in form factor 
and interface.
Once you got oversight of what is in stores right now or what SSD you 
prefer you might search for that in your country.

God bless, Marius
