The new PC that is now almost 6 years old, running Windows 10, I have managed to put three CDs to the dumpster so far. Some cryptic message because there is still not enough space on a hard drive to actually add some useful error messages. I was going to try a small R/W disc but the idiots who designed the PC mounted the drives vertical rather than horz. The disc fell into the drive as expected. lol. So it's sitting on top of a glass of water. lol. Of course, that failed as well.
I have a new burner sitting in a box. Too bad it's not SATA and the new PC only supports SATA.

Now for my obscure card. It's just a FDC/HDD/IO card, but I think it's cool because it appears to be the reference design from SMC for the chip in the middle. And I can't find it anywhere else online.
Someone on a retro computer forum was even able to find the schematics on the SMC website using the Wayback machine. The card works if you're wondering, despite the empty sockets. From the schematics, they appear to be for an EPROM and PAL devices....for what purpose exactly I don't know.

The EPROM may be for an extension BIOS, which is useful for adding netboot or large disk support. PALs could be anything.
