Fun. Yeah, I know new DVD burners are cheap now (MicroCenter has several for under $20), but it still galls me somewhat that a perfectly usable piece of hardware is now relegated to the scrapheap because the protocol is "deprecated".
I've got a handful of computers here in various states of "needs an OS", and most of them only have one IDE port. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised that motherboards now come without them.
