After that length of time, the issue might be finding an interface card to run the drive!

IDE is still with us, kind of, but many current motherboards do not have an IDE header. Won't be long before getting access to an IDE drive will become a challenge.

Technology moves on, with no guarantee of backwards compatibility.....
