I build a lot of retro PCs on the side, and so I use my optical drives quite a bit to burn Windows 95/98 data CDs, as well as burn restore image CDs for said retro PCs. I couldn't live without my optical drives, guess I must be a complete dinosaur!

Ya, pretty much, just put the pins into the corresponding pin on the header cable.Ah thanks. I got a mis-order that I got to keep (got my $ back eBay China) I ordered female - female Dupoint (how they got that term is beyond me but that is what they call them) anyway I got male pin - female so I can make my own jumpers without destroying anything just put them in the proper pins on the Intel header and plug into the motherboard headers
PS: You keep you house hot I like it cold as you can see from my weather station
PPS: Sorry for being nosy but I like all things tech like most people [h]ere LoL!

The closer to 60°F the better for me, however the electric heat thermostat failed the maintenance left me without heat in the living room! It went down to 52°F and where my kitty sleeps by the chair next to the windows is was 46-48°F I bought a new thermostat with my own $ this is what the old one looked like! it still clicked when turned but was only passing 120V half of the line so the heaters only used 1/4 of the power so practically no heat output.Ya, pretty much, just put the pins into the corresponding pin on the header cable.
Also, my room gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter, it's the hottest and coldest room in the house.
80* is where I feel most comfortable.
Does one of those remotes control all the other remotes, like The One Remote?
The Logitech Harmony can control most of the stuff, but that is an old pic and all those remotes are in a drawer.Does one of those remotes control all the other remotes, like The One Remote?
Edit: On topic - I think I have used an optical drive twice in the last decade, but think I even got rid of that. It was a portable USB DVD RW.

I want an HD-DVD drive I got a few discs at a Dollar Tree store as hey an HD-DVD for $1.06! Does an E-IDE Blu-ray drive exist as well as an HD-DVD one? not like it matters my old IDE PC is from 2002 so I doubt it can use that.
I just need an E-IDE DVD-reader a burner is not needed as I have other PCs that can do that too bad eBay and others think they are made of solid gold or sliver.
The XBOX 360 had an external USB HD-DVD drive available as an add-on for it. You might be able to fins one of those cheap as HD-DVD wasn't around that long. Sad thing is, I thought the HD-DVD format itself was better than BluRay, but the Blu-Ray disks are definitely more resilient with that hard coating they have. My HD-DVD disks are very fragile (super easy to scratch).

Now I need an IDE DVD-rom or writer for my Socket A/462 board I fixed
I saw that quite a while ago is it able to be used without the Xbox-360 EX: for ripping the disc?
I still have my Xbox 360 but I'm trying to get an Xbox Series X for actual non scalper price!
Scalpers are the scum of the retail market and the manufactures fuel them by not making enough to go around and the retailer also need to do a better job of limiting one per person like one per address and one per payment method I doubt they will get another credit card just to scalp.
HD-DVD also seems to bitrot very quickly. Had a friend buy a bunch of them cheaply from blockbuster and hollywood video when they went under...DVDs and blu-rays are still fine, almost all the HD-DVDs are unreadable now.
I loved HD-DVD but I got burned hard. Probably had at least 50 discs, some of them imported for like $50 a pop.
I don't know for you guys, but I've mostly always bought Verbatim and never had a single reading issue several years later.The promise of Optical Media is that if you take care of it, it is effectively immortal, making it an excellent long-term storage solution on paper. The reality of it is, that as demand for optical media has decreased, the quality of optical media has ALSO decreased, and low quality optical media... degrades (sometimes quickly).
