Haven't had floppy drive installed for few years now and wouldn't cry if I hadn't got IDE either. My 2 burners still use it, but SATA burners are like 30€. Same goes for PCI, have only my Audigy there, but PCI-e soundcard are out from asus and Creative.
Printer & com ports already went byebye, mouse PS/2 is next (alredy missing on some mobos). Keyboard PS/2 I'd miss, but that would be a readon to buy a new keyboard :) Latest and greatest motherboards aren't meant to be used with old tech imo, there are plenty of older motherboards for them.
