[opensuse] legacy device support on modern motherboard and linux

Hello: Most modern motherboards do not have serial, parallel, IDE, floppy, and even PCI ports. I guess there exist PCI-E expansion cards for serial, parallel, and IDE connection. The question is whether they are usable in linux. Will e.g. a serial card work in linux with my serial modem or other old device with serial port? The same question applies to parallel and IDE connections. Previously on this forum someone wrote that floppy PCI/PCI-E cards are not working in linux. Do USB floppy work?
