@425a31b8 no IDEa 

 IDE 

 I feel old now 😭 

 @425a31b8 This makes me feel so old. 🥲 

 @425a31b8 Stop making me feel… so… old!!!! ;) 

 @425a31b8 if it makes you feel any better one of my sysadmins asked me the other day about “a monitor cable” that doesn’t fit any of the old monitors. 

It was a serial cable. 

 🤣 

 @425a31b8 something like this

 Lol, still got some very nice ide cables somewhere  

 @425a31b8 i have no words 😭 

 @425a31b8 Real question is if people in the replies are calling it IDE or PATA. 

 @425a31b8 A Raspberry Pi GPIO cable.  
At least the jumper is set right to make it easy. 

 @425a31b8 you will meet an old IDE controller and cable. 

 @425a31b8 It requires one soul. 

 @425a31b8 I have what this person needs.

I would bet half of Mastodon has with his person needs.

IDE isn't that old. Remember MFM?

 @425a31b8 nicht im Ernst, oder? 

 @425a31b8 Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. 

 @425a31b8 

It's only last year I retired my PC and with IDE drives in it. 

Play a haunting song to mourn the loss of a great legacy. They'll come for you too, SATA. Soon. 

 I suddenly realized: I'm old. 🤣😂

 @425a31b8 Don't tell me this was a serious question 😅 

 @425a31b8 *watches a thousand fellow nerds go into collective meltdown* 😆 

 @425a31b8 But what do you need those 40Mb for? 🤔 

 @425a31b8 I'm getting old.  I stared at it for a long time and thought, I don't get it. It looks like a standard IDE cable to me.

 @425a31b8 

The right one… but if you find the plug you can simply pour the data in a glass… 

 We ARE old! 😅 

 @425a31b8 I think some part of me just died inside. 

 It uses an IDE cable. I feel old.
