Back in 2004, when I used 486 computer with Windows 95 daily, I regularly burned CDs on it.
They were mostly data CDs for storing pirated MP3s, as I didn't have much disk space.
The PC had 32 MB of RAM.
I used conventional contemporary PATA drive by Asus.
I remember having few problems:
- the only software I had success with was Padus DiscJuggler
- writing a full volume of CD at once was not always feasible
Unfortunately I didn't bother to figure out what caused these things.
The rig is still functional, tested few days ago with some old CD-RW disk.
