Put SSD with IDE->SATA internal converter. And install Linux on it.

Seriously; always great to hear about old kit being kept alive.

I've checked... I've got this one inside:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001345813850.html

And SSD drive on it. I think it is 256G or 512G...
It is slow, but works.
Yes, 32 bit linux but works.
All the fresh software. :)

> To paraphrase a certain advertisement...

True!

Just download debian live and try it on that machine.
I think I placed it on USB flash drive and booted from it.
Then installed it on the internal SSD.

And when that machine eventually stops working, you can get
something like this and uset it as a USB drive:

Almost forgot...
IDE 2 SATA:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000585602528.html

than SATA 2 SSD:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001345813850.html

And mSATA SSD on all that. It all fits inside IDE bay.
I think I bought this one:

Why "around the year it came out"? There's loads of software (both
freeware and payware) that's (still) available - although sometimes you
might have to use an old(er) version that runs on XP.

Alternatively, the A40 might be upgradable to W10 (although I still
personally prefer XP!). I have a Dell 1520 from early 2007 that was
originally XP, and I have progressively used it on W7, W8 and W10. It
has a pluggable hard drive, so it only takes a few seconds to swap
disks. It's presently on W10 using a solid state drive.
