These don’t look like the Integrated Development Environments I know!
I wish they still made the disc drives like they used to. I am currently trying to find a drive that has a headphone jack, play button, and can also burn DVDs rather than just read them. But that seems to be really really rare.
Anyway, these IDE drives used to have a full CD player in them. Unfortunately, on the more modern ones, there’s just the MPC2 connector at the back. Now, that could still be worked with, but playback control would still rely on a computer.
Many earlier CD drives also included a convenient play button.How’s that useful? Welp, I want to put it into a 5.25" drive enclosure that I got. This way I could also (easily) use it as a standalone CD player.
I mean, imagine having something like those Creative Infra CD drives as an external drive 😍
your intergrated development environment looks a bit weird
All you need:
No, the IDEs belong to March.
You’d do numbers on Tumblr
Am I a bigot for throwing away my last IDE cable last month?
You know you’re gonna need it in a few days now.
The curse of needing a glorious IDE ribbon be upon you. A pox on your case.
I still have some old hard drives that only use IDE, but no computer that has an IDE port. Can’t bring myself to throw them away.
Yes, and you should be ashamed.
But I can’t find my razor!
Crap! I missed celebrating the IDEs of March.
