Is anyone aware of a cheap CDRW that will run on a Pentium 200mh machine?

Virtually any 1x-4x write ATAPI/IDE CDRW should work on a Pentium/200. I have an LG CED-8080B 8x write running on a Cyrix M-II/PR300 (actually 225 MHz) without problems. The CED-8080B was $49.99 (should still be available at MicroCenter, BestBuy, etc.)

Thanks LinuxGuru,

However the LG 8080B box indicates minimum 233mh (266 for 8x write).

Do you think this or any other CDRW that indicates 233mh minimum will run in a 200mh box?

The only way to know for sure is by testing it out. My guess is that it will work for HD->CDR burning, but probably not for 2-drive CDROM->CDR copying at 8x.

I can confirm that 8x HD->CDR burns are good with a Cyrix M2/PR300 (225 MHz) with an LG 8080B, but YMMV with a P200.

look for a cdr/rw that has BURN-PROOF!!, my pc is 266mz, I have a philips cdrw800 8x4x32(no burn-proof) and works fine. Also just got a Digital Research DRCDRW161040 16x10x40 (DOES HAVE BURN-PROOF!!) and love it. Burn-Proof will adjust the cd write speed on-the-fly to avoid a under-burn due to poor pc speeds. So get the fastest for the $ that has burn-proof and you sould have no prob, when you up-grade to a faster computer you will have a good cdr/rw to keep up with it! Sorry for long post, but wanted to get the info out to ya.
