So I'm gearing up parts for a 'Totally Inauthentic Windows 9X Machine', centered around the ASRock 775i65G R2.0. It's two SATA ports offer high compatibility with older OS's so using a SATA SSD and ODD should be no problem. Of course I could just buy a new SATA DVDRW drive no problem, but it'd potentially be handy to have a second BDXL drive on hand as I have many 100GB and 128GB BDXL discs holding archived backups. If I ever have to recovery off those discs, well, that's not the fastest media, would be handy to have a second BDXL drive on hand. So could I kill two birds with one stone and put an BDXL drive in a Win9X system? I'm not really interested in having it READ BluRays, CD and DVD will be fine, but then it's there to have me put it into service with a more modern OS and start ingesting backups into my main storage server again.
So just wondering if Win9X would even work with such a drive? Is it just about what discs it mounts?
