They were pretty handy, particularly on low-level platforms (such as
MS-DOS) where access to I/O ports was not blocked by the hardware.
Do SATA versions of these things exist?

backup my files before I do anything on UNIX, just in

Sure. But that's equally true on any other OS: backups always
recommended.
