Modern raspberry pi GPIO pins are compatible with floppy disk cable (similar to PATA). I can tell you how much I enjoyed telling about this to my wife, when I pulled one of them from my magical cable drawer, were I have stored one since the 90's.

(Just make sure that there isn't the one blocked pin, otherwise you might break things)

Are you sure? I vaguely remember finding that some of these pins were shorted when I tested the same hypothesis... Maybe I'm remembering wrong
