Why so?

How old? I got a 30 year old floppy drive in a 25 year old Pentium MMX machine that works fine.

Old Hardware in Old PC?

You mean Keynoards, Printers, Monitors, Trackball Mouse, etc?

40 year old floppy in a 25 year old computer.

Sounds like some bad but saucy technosexual porno.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH "OLD" STUFF

Right it's the ancient stuff you have to worry about

An IDE CD Writer.I do not want to use these USB-IDE Adapters.....

Why not buy a cheap USB DVD writer?

It has to be this CD Writer.

Might be easier to hook it up to an old pc than to convert it to usb.

Correct,I think,I build up a PC with Windows XP.

What is the problem with it being ATA? Is the PC itself too new or too old?
Although considering that you mentioned USB, it sounds like it's too new to have ATA port on-board.

I agree with @SAIYAN48, if you can score some old PCs being thrown out, then it's most of the times much cheaper to "reanimate" them than to fuck around with adapters which might be bugged (I am looking at you, JM20329 ).
Although considering how "trendy" old PCs have gotten, you do have to find them "in the wild" unless you're ready to pay out of the ass for a shitty old used PC.

The "Problem" is/was,I have changed the Mainboard a few Months ago,and that other Mainboard HAVE IDE Connectors onboard......but I have "invested" time last Week to "Service" my PC (New CPU Cooler,the Cables new "rerouted" everything tip top..I don't want to rip everything out again...

But I found my old ASUS Formula Maximus II and a Intel XEON (Socket 775),a NoName Nvidia PCI Express Graphiccard,so I can start in the next Hour(s).

4 GB Kingston DDR2,a 3.15 Ghz Xeon CPU and a Gigabyte Nvidia GT710 with 2 GB RAM.

..and of course IDE Connectors.
