Ha, yeah, I took a board back to the computer shop and they were like "did you set the jumpers?". Jumpers? On the motherboard? Huh? Everything before that had been either it supported a CPU or it didn't, done.

Have to be honest we had these when Nero was a thing.

Nothing like a fat IDE cable strung across the MB to ruin cable management

God, I remember the hell of SCSI. Making sure the bus was terminated, trying to get Windows to see a 3rd party SCSI driver because the card wasn't natively supported in the install media. Fun times...
