a) What sort of SCSI pins is there on CyberstormPPC? What sort of HD's can I use?

SCSI-3 Ultrawide (68pin). See SCSI faq, or another SCSI faq. Google for more if these are not answering your questions.

b) With a SCSI HD inside an Amiga with PPC. Will divX movies run without any problem then with FroggerNG?

No.

c) What is the best configuration for watching a DivX movie on a Amiga 4000 060/PPC, MediatorPCI4000Di-Voodoo 3 3000, DelfinaDSP, Ariadne_II, 128MB RAM, 60GB IDE HD (wants to add a SCSI HD for DivX playing)

Not possible, not enough CPU power. Some very low resolution DivX might work, but most movies are way too high resolution.

In short, better forget it.

No, it can't. Get over it.

95% of the movies are too high resolution to replay with acceptable speed.

If you get SCSI that certainly helps to push the data to CPU for decoding, but the CPU itself is still too slow. The gfxcard bus is ridiculously slow aswell.
