Probably not going to be much use to most people but a lot of newer boards in the past 5 years no longer come with a IDE port, needed one today to hook up a IDE drive, cheap and always come in handy in the future.

And if you really need to post a deal, will you need USB5.0 support first?

PCI port has been gone for 5 years. PATA IDE ports have been gone for longer than that mate!
If I really needed an old 80 pin IDE connector, I'd get a USB adaptor.

You can still buy new boards with PCI but PATA is vintage; so Kool.
