I was slightly surprised when I discovered that optical drives were still PATA even in otherwise SATA computers. Presumably their manufacturers not being on the same technological growth ramp as hard disks means they couldn't just ("just") drop the new interface into next week's even bigger hard disk.
I might start looking for homes for older AGP cards now then...
